NTA Western

Thank you for posting, John ...it is a good ad layout .

Looks like it's worth attending just to get a copy of that flyer with the great.........easily identifiable art work.

I don’t know who does the drawings round these parts but it looks decent. Lol.

Is Nolan Knife Works gonna have a booth set up?

That’s a patented name, Sneaky. That’ll be a dollar fifty. Lol.

Thanks John for posting this, see you there.

Safe travels to everyone

That part of Montana I was unfamiliar with, so doing a bit of research was a good education on the historical facts of the river and that region. A rondy held there is perfect for that old Mtn. Man hangout and trading .

I agree, Sharon. Looking forward to seeing you.

Maybe Snowy will show up there. He just dropped off the radar in February 2021. I believe he lives in Sidney

I would love to be able to go there , John, but this time, I won't be able to make it .

One of these times, I will . Looking forward to seeing some pics .

Sharon, bite your tongue. Get there.

I would sure like to, John !

Take it out of my gear consultation fees lol

You gonna be there, Sneaky?

Not sure yet. Trying to see if my trapping partner wants to go and split expenses.

Nonsense. If you’re not there I’m telling everyone about that time you brought a drag queen back to the barracks. Lol.

Bawhahaha, that's how he got his handle, eh John! Well if you come, bring your train wreck!

Haha! It’s just rumor at this point, Lee. Lol. I’ll be there though.

He's totally deflecting Lee. Projecting his third deck immoralities on me Maybe it's a drill instructor thing lol

I liked it in Missoula. Wish they would do it again there.

Hat was a good one. The Forsyth place has a pretty nice setup too.

Missoula is a short hop compared to Forsyth

Forsyth, Montana is 691.4 miles EACH WAY for me. Sorry, not gonna happen.

To me, that is almost a Midwestern rondy, not a Western. Just saying.

The mountain men did 1,200 miles with no cars or air conditioning! Nancy, we’ll see you there. Lol

Phone says 937 miles, see ya there. Gas prices suck, but got a rondy to go to! lol. Come on and make the trip, Nancy. Would love to meet you and shake your hand!

I agree with Lee. Now I’m afraid Nancy may try and hurt me. Prolly walk in with a disguise like those glasses with the nose and mustache. Slap me upside the head. Lol.

Seeing as how several of you fine gentlemen would like me to attend the Western NTA coming up next month, perhaps if one of you would care to be my chauffeur, I would consider it.

How about it Lee Steinmeyer??? You could stop by and pick me up on your way.

Dang Nancy, That would add a another 1200 miles to my already 1850 miles round trip! Might as well drive out to Washington to see my daughter, like I did when I left Missoula four or so years ago! Love to meet you, but that's extreme!

Fancy, get here to Sun River by Thursday and I’ll take you. I’ll have room in the camper also. I’m bringing the FFL gun guy too so you’ll be as safe as the Alamo. Lol.

Is the demo list set in stone yet because between the flyer I’ve seen and what’s on NTA page there’s a few differences. Thanks

The one I posted should be good. Tough to read.

John,
Hoping this shindig is great!

Blessings my friend.
Mark

Anyone going to the Western that is interested in a half JRT and half Patterdale pup, Pm me and I can bring them along. We have four left, the first left this morning to his new home in Iowa. Three males and one female, all black. They look like their dad! Their mom is a rough coat jack, so they may develop some roughness as they get older. They are six weeks old and on puppy chow now.

Hey John, do you have plenty of inside tables, or do I need to tailgate?

It's been a few years since I have been to Western. I may try to go next year.

Kieth from sterling fur wants y'all to know he's been delayed. He's in the Denver airport right now. He should. BE there Saturday morning only.

A few pictures

Rusty Kramer doing his Wolf Demo

How's the turnout? Everyone bailed on splitting gas with me. Thanks Biden.

It's way down, but enough that we had a awesome time.
I wouldn't miss one in my state for anything.
Thank you N.T.A. , Montana Trapper's for hosting and F.B.U.
for all they do .
And other state trapping Association's that had booth's and thanks
to all them for what they do.

We had a great time. For once in my adult life I’m able to see the same people over and over. Moving every few years in the Marines got older than I thought.

I enjoyed it. As I said in the chat area on this site, it was good to put faces to names.

I always regret not take many photos but I did get a decent one of Chris Morgan doing his cat demo.

Saskers did a fantastic ram power snare demo.
