PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Trapping season is in full swing. It has been cold and snowing. Ice was on the water the second day of the season. I have been working a lot of hours, but I have managed to catch a few coyotes. The good news is gas is at a three-year low. The bad news is that fur prices are 50-75 percent lower than last year.
Jan, 17 is the Fur Sale at Miami County Fairgrounds in Peru, Indiana. Doors will open at 7 a.m. The sale will begin at 9 a.m. If you would like to help, call me at 219-785-2972.
The Turkey Expo and Boat Show is Feb. 20-22, 2009. We sure could use some help with this event. Call me at 219-785-2972 to let me know when you can help during the weekend.
That’s all for now.
Good Trapping!!
— Ron Elliott
