Fur trappers from across the Midwest will descend on the small, northern Michigan town of Escanaba in July for the 59th Annual Trappers Convention and Expo, which was canceled last year due to the pandemic.
One of the largest regional conventions in the country, the expo will feature fur-trapping experts, including Iowan Red O’Hearn who can skin a beaver in seven minutes. O’Hearn, who said trapping is “in his blood” will be giving a live demonstration.
“We are pleased to have Red returning to Escanaba,” said Bob Steinmetz, member of U.P. Trappers and National Trappers Association Director for the Upper Peninsula, in a news release. “He does a great job of teaching his methods, techniques and tips. He also willingly engages the audience with dialog and Q and A. Those attending his demo are sure to learn a lot.
