Come Join Us on 9/29!!

Ladies and Gentlemen: Please consider the following announcement YOUR INVITATION to the First Annual Midwest Predator Hunters Rendezvous!!

Fur Takers from across the Midwest will be gathering in Greenwood, Indiana on Saturday, September 29th for the FTA7B Fall Convention & Midwest Predator Annual Rendezvous. You may have read about this event in various hunting and trapping magazines, or on other websites, but please consider this your personal invitation to join us for a great day of food/games/contest/demos and FUN!

Below you will see the details of the event, provided by Tim Rose- the FTA7B President (And our MPH Trapping Moderator). In the center of all the excitement on 9/29 you will find a big conglomeration of misfit predator callers- underneath the MIDWEST PREDATOR HUNTERS banners. We’ll have tables, chairs, tents and canopies setup all day. I’m sure we’ll be easy to locate with the squalls of predator calls and screams of laughter. There will be a wonderful meal provided (Yes the Chef is cooking) as the convention winds down and plenty of laid back conversation around the campfire before heading home!

I urge everyone to make an effort to attend this gathering! This is one of the strongest demo lineups I’ve ever seen and all types of vendors will be there with products you didn’t know you needed! This event will be a great place to meet your Midwest Predator Pals and put faces with DOZENS of screen names. I know nearly all of our prostaff will be in attendance- and certainly a few dozen other members from the Midwest Region. This location is central to HUNDREDS of MPH and FTA Members so I hope to see a good percentage of you guys out there! Last year this event was crowded… this year it’ll be PACKED!

If you have any questions about the event contact myself or Tim Rose. If you intend to travel more than 4-5 hours for this event- please let me know personally so I can try to help you out somehow. We’ll try to shuttle guys in from the airport, carpool or supply lodging for those who need rest before going home. Just let me know- because we don’t want anyone to have an excuse to stay home! Do not miss out on this event or you’ll be out of the loop on all the inside jokes until the 2009 Rendezvous! LOL!

Sounds great. I'll try and attend. Thanks for the invite!

[Decatur]

Will there be vendors there?

[jrbhunter]

Yes there will be several vendors and tailgaters on hand and of course Hoosier Trappers Supply is going to be open for business all day as well. I don't have a list of vendors you can expect but you will be able to find every trapping and snaring product you could ever possibly need. There will be quite a few miscellaneous dealers there as well with predator hunting equipment, arts and crafts and all kinds of stuff.

We’ll have some fun contests throughout the day for adults and kids alike.

The FTA will be putting together a wonderful lunch available to anyone for a small donation. If you come over to the MPH booth and let us know your Midwest screen name we’ll slap a nametag on you and serve you a great dinner at 6pm.

Don’t forget we're raffling off the beautiful Marlin .41 Magnum at 5:30pm. Tickets will be available all day for $5 each or can be purchased in advance by sending a Paypal transaction of $5 increments to [e-mail]

Dang, looks like I'll have to get up early to get a good seat!

[jrbhunter]

There will be a lawnchair designated just for you Matt. I'd write your name on there but we're expecting at least 4 Matts at the moment! LOL!

All you guys will have to sign (with screenname) and wear the ID badges provided on our front table in the booth so I know who the heck ya are. We'll have a few huge tent canopies setup with tables and chairs for comfortable story telling and proper introductions. The grill will be in the back of our booth- right next to the cornhole and washer boards!

Weather you're looking for information or equipment on trapping OR predator calling- this will be a great investment of your Saturday. I made many friends and aquaintences at conventions like this that have forever improved my hunting and trapping success. If you take nothing else from the event- I can garuntee you a few laughs and a delicious hamburger!

[jrbhunter]

Getting a few request for directions... so here goes.

Take Exit 99 off I-65 on the South Side of Indianapolis.

Go east for 2.7 miles and turn left.... you should see FTA signs at this road.

The convention (And Hoosier Trapper) will be found about one mile ahead on the right.... you won't be able to miss it!!!!
