The convention was way busier than I figured considering fur prices. Some dollars were changing hands but nothing like Owattana a few years back. I sold a few things, traded a few things, and bought a few things.....But the camaraderie is priceless......
It sprinkled a little today and while everyone was covering their stuff my wife asked..."Why cover rusty traps".....

Heaven's NO there are great finds each day, they all seem to be in MO. and Minn. Haven't even heard of a good trap getting found in Iowa. You guys need to quit spreading rumors again.

I bought a sparrow trap for $10.00 this weekend. The guy was pretty amazed that I knew what it was. LOL

I'm not sure I will ever use it but it is a good conversation piece.

I passed up a $30-330 and some $5 to $10-110's. I did almost buy some $4 BMI 1 1/2 coilsprings.

This is not an actual picture of it but one I found on the internet.

Jody (hope I got that right), At least you knew what you were getting. I picked up this for the same price and I got no idea what it is...... Maybe a Gibbs 7th model live muskrat trap?

I don't what to start any rumors.... But...I heard tell there is a barn full of old traps near Osage Iowa....And you will be tripping over Nisbets, Cortlands, and Dwights just to get to the good stuff....

Come on now, you don't see any pictures on here from me, of course I would have to know how it's done first. No Nisbets, Cortlands, or Dwights, here I certainly would not pass them up if you guys were to send some my way. I have seen them but they were not in the state of Iowa. certainly not in my barn anyway! Diggerdale it was good to see you over the weekend, but it seems to me you were the one carrying around the bargains, sorry but I didn't bring anything home with me. Please don't feel sorry for me! Kevin, I will see you soon enough, thanks for the grief.
