My cousin, brother and myself are going on Saturday the 4th. Any one else going? Lonnie, I saw in the Trapper and Predator Caller Magazine that some seminars are for members only. Do I have to be an NTA member, or is being an Indiana State Member enough? To anyone going, I'll be wearing a "Sportsman's Lodge" hat, black with a camo bill. If you see me, shout out!

I went 2 yrs ago. It was quite an event. You'll enjoy it, nothing like the odor of stepping into a trapper convention. Everytime you smell a skunk you will think back to the conventions!!!

The last one I was at was in Mansfield, Ohio back in 1987. We're looking forward to it!

I went, I saw, I conquered! I still spent $200 though. I did get a few things I needed for this fall. It was a pretty good time. I didn't see anyone I knew...., that I know of. I was there between 10:00 am - 12:30 am EST.

Decatur, sorry for the late response , I have been away at Goshen since 7/30/07
I hope you all have as much fun as we did.
to answer your question late, you would have had to be a member of the NTA since it was their convention and we were just hosting/working it

We had a blast! And saved quite a bit of money besides! I highly recommend going if you have any interest in trapping at all. No problem on the late reply Lonnie, I figured you were all tied up.
