U.P. Trappers Convention to welcome Les Johnson Jun 10, 2019 08:47 ET Original: U.P. Trappers Convention to welcome Les Johnson [Reprinted from original] The U.P. Trapper’s Annual Convention/Outdoor Expo is once again coming to Escanaba. Along with all of the vendors/tailgaters on hand offering the latest in trapping/outdoor equipment at “convention special” prices (with no shipping fees), many famous outdoor experts will be giving educational seminars throughout the convention. Vendors on hand will be offering: trapping, hunting, fishing, quilting, guns, knives and many other outdoor supplies. Included in the all-star lineup of experts giving seminars is none other than Les Johnson of Predator Quest fame. “Les has become a regular at our convention and is always a big hit with attendees” said Mike Lewis, a longtime member of U.P Trappers. “He has won countless awards for predator calling and his TV shows featuring predator hunting are outstanding. It is really cool every once in a while to hear (in the Ruth Butler Building) a coyote yip, bark or howl and then to realize that it is just Les practicing his calling technique. Make sure to attend his demos, you won’t be disappointed,” Lewis added. Johnson hails from Nebraska where he spent his childhood pursuing all outdoor sports. While attending the University of Nebraska Lincoln studying Animal Science he once stated, “I want to be the best predator caller in the world.” With the success of Predator Quest and the countless awards Johnson has won, he has certainly achieved that goal. Along with Johnson, other speakers include: Harry Nestell, Greg Schroeder, Jeff Dunlap, Ed Schneider, Mike Cain, Lesel Reuwsaat, Al Dubord and local beaver trapping expert Ken Luedtke. The U.P. Trapper’s Annual Convention/Outdoor Expo will be held at the U.P. State Fairgrounds in Escanaba, Michigan on July 26-27 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
