Congratulations to our 8 Herb Eble Award Winners, Levi, Daniel, Samuel Lily, Liam, Cole, Justin and Edgar. They all attended Pat Arnold’s Camp and completed their NYS Trapper Training. The Award began in 2001, marking 121 kids to date! Herb Eble started trapping at the age of 10 and continued into his 90’s.  In honor of his lifetime contributions to our sport and encouraging kids to follow in his footsteps, the award began. Applicants submit an essay expressing why they want to be a trapper. All winners attend our Christmas Party along with their families and did a great job reading their essays. Many essays praised the Camp for getting them started and mentioned their love of spending time outdoors with their family. They received a prize package of traps, fur handling supplies and 1-year memberships in ECTA, Cattaraugus County Trappers and New York State Trappers which includes the Trappers Post publication.
