I plan to be there Saturday morning. Taking some guns to swap and trade. How about trading some handguns?

Last year I purchased 5 live Bobcat traps, ole fishing lures, ole predator calls, trap'n lure and other items.
I sold 4 of the live traps before I went home...lol

I'll have a 'Getz' muzzleloader barrel with me. If interested, pm me.

Did you use the live trap to try and catch a bobcat? Want to kill one this year. It's been two years since I shot one and that one I called in with rabbit distress. Would like to trap one this year.

I did catch 2 stray house cats with that trap.

It was great to meet you, goosehntr! I enjoyed my time there, but it was a very sad day for me and my wifes family. About 9:30 my wife called and told me her dad had a severe heart attack but the doctors said he would be fine. By 10:00 my father in law had died. He was 50 years old and never had any heart trouble before. Friday he worked all day and till evening had back pain in the middle of his back but not any chest pains. Everything has been kind of a blur since then, making decisions, plans, so much to do. Am at home today for a break from it all and then tomorrow and wednesday will be full with a viewing tuesday and funeral wednesday. Trying to relax today after such a stress filled two days, and two more to come.

Sorry to hear that.  Your family is in my prayers.

Thanks you all for your prayers and support. Though most of us have never met! I believe I could feel the prayers of so many. Though very sad, yet I felt so much peace. Praise God! Life will not be the same...gone is my father in law, gone is my friend that did all my reloading and gave me so many different loads to try, gone is the pastor of my church (he was 1 of 2 pastors), gone is the dad to  5, 9, 17, 23 year old girls, and 16 and 20 year old boy, gone is the chance for one last picture. Hug your father (father in law) while you have the chance, make sure you keep family pictures up to date, tell your loved ones you love them while there is life....the list just goes on. So different is my outlook on life right now. Feels like I live in a dream almost....
