I have this mink board hanging in my fur shed from NTA 2001 in Mason City, Iowa and here we are 20 years later going to NTA in North Central Iowa!! If memory serves correctly it is where most of us that had been talking via IRQ and Otter Creek Chat met for the first time after many years of online discussion! There were a few that were there but missed signing the mink board!! If I remember correctly even Jtrapper made the trek for this one!! A few great trappers and friends that were with us in Mason City have passed and have left us to carry on but with that said they will not be forgotten!! Tie dyed shirts and all!!

Was even the first Trapperman feed. Met a lot of folks there that became forever friends as well.

Was there, long 7 mile drive from my house. Was 20 + hours for me with 3 kids, a dog, and a pregnant wife in an extended cab truck. A great convention but a horrible trip.

I remember this convention very well. I introduced the Lil' Grizz Trap to the public for first time. I had no idea what to expect and knew something was up that I wasn't prepared for. I lost my voice talking non stop for over 4 hours straight and got an opportunity to walk around to see what was going on. Jtrapper, MsCat, Wolfer and many other T-man members I got a chance to meet. I didn't take long after the convention was over to get results how the Grizz Trap was working for everyone.
The Iowa Trappers put on a real good show.
