DISTRICT 8 REPORT

District 8 had our first meeting with an attendance of three. Of course, it was still only September. We discussed MFT and trapping in general. Donald Moore brought in a bobcat he had mounted for show and tell. It looked very good. It had been trapped down south by his son, Patrick.

Next meeting will be Oct. 28 and it will be our election meeting. Come help us decide our new Director, Assist Director and Treasurer for the next two years. Attendance is a big disappointment. I have asked in this column three times for interested trappers to e-mail me to be put on the District 8 e-mail list and have yet to get the first reply. One youth from Denton, Md signed up at the Jr. Hunter Day, but I am unable to read his e-mail address. If he reads this, please e-mail me.

I had planned to attend the National Hunting and Fishing day at Schraders Hunting Lodge, but got caught up with other plans, so I was not able to attend.

We encourage any and all to attend out meetings. We hope to provide help to new trappers and supply fur buyer information and fur prices to all attending.

District 8 meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. thru trapping season at the home of Robert Calloway at 14313 Cherry Lane, near Tuckahoe State Park. Call Bob at 410-634-2501 for further directions.

E-mail Roger Ringgold to be added to the District 8 e-mail list at rogerringgold@yahoo.com.

Trap on. — Roger
