The weekend of June 4th, 5th, & 6th, OFBA held our 4th annual “Trappers Workshop” on Lake Eufaula at Gentry Creek camp site.
Friday night 12 members visited around the camp fire while enjoying the weiner roast & sharing trapping stories. Thanks to Gene & Cloyce Callaway & Cody & Tina Presley for bringing food for the Friday night menu. Thanks to all the ones involved in gathering wood for the camp fire and to the men who helped BJ debone the meat, for Saturday, after the weiner roast.
Saturday morning came early with coffee. Shannon, thanks for going to town & getting donuts for breakfast. We had a short meeting around 9:00 going over the agenda for the day. The men started on the demo’s shortly thereafter.
A big thanks goes out to Darrin & Justin Unruh for helping BJ getting the smoker started & getting the meat ready to cook
Door prizes was drawn for every hour Congratulations to all the winners.
Thanks to all the men for giving trapping demo’s & Darrin thanks for the snake education information. Everyone enjoyed all the demo’s & talks. I saw several men with their note pads & pens taking notes during these demo’s. I’m sure these new tacticts they learned will be tried on the critters this trapping season.
Another thanks goes out to Terry Thornton & Gene & Cloyce Callaway for donating the meat for Saturday’s lunch. Thank you BJ for doing such an excellent job on smoking the deer & hogs.
Lunch was served to 36 on Saturday. There was plenty of food for all, and then some. Thanks to those that brought food to go along with lunch.
A special thanks goes out to Glenda Walls & Tina Presley for helping me cook desserts in our Dutch Ovens. The desserts was a big hit with everyone, and was delicious. Overall the trappers had a terrific weekend sharing stories & ideas with one another.
Once again I would like to thank all of you for participating & making this another successful “Trappers Workshop”.
