Open House Recap
I'd like to thank all of you that made it to the Open House on Saturday, April 12th. We had a great time hosting the event, and met so many of you from all over the Midwest. Next year, we'll definitely be hosting this again, maybe even for multiple days with some overnight camping, if we have it a few weeks later in the year to help with weather conditions. Next on the agenda for Kyle is the Southeast NTA Convention in Tupelo, Mississippi from April 24-27. We'll have basically our entire product line available there. Take care, and thanks again for making the weekend so much fun!!! --Kellen "The Mohawk" Kaatz

Bracing for the snow...
Hey, Kellen here again from Kaatz Bros. As I'm typing, the flakes are falling. We'll see how much accumulation we actually get, but it's supposed to be a bunch. The orders have been rollin' in, and rollin' out (still within 24 hours as has been our standard) at a fantastic pace and we thank you for sure. Our February special has been posted here on the site, 1 dozen Duke 330's for $151.95, so get 'em now in time to get 'em treated and ready after ice-out to start catching beaver. Take care...

Hey, Kellen here from Kaatz Bros. Lures in Illinois. So, we’ve been wild busy here at KBL the past several months. Our holiday rush is upon us in full-swing, but I had to send a quick note to you to keep you posted on a few ‘breaking’ updates. First, we’re planning on several major additions to our product line for 2008, and I’m excited to be able to offer these products at such discounted rates. Kyle’s not going to be too thrilled with me, but I have to let the ‘cat-out-of the bag’, at least a little bit! We’re in the planning stages for our first annual Kaatz Bros. Open House Weekend here in Savanna, Illinois in April. We’ll have convention-style demos as well as a few classroom seminars, two BBQ’s, beer, non-alcoholic beverages for the kiddies, FREE camping, the whole she-bang!!! I’ll keep you posted with more details as they unfold, it’s definitely going to be an event that you won’t want to miss! Also, we’ve sealed a deal for a ’big’ exclusive product! That’s all I can say for now…Again, I’ll keep you posted… As you browse our website you’ll notice I’ve added a few new featured products catered towards the bobcat trappers, including Steve Wood’s bobCatching Part 2 DVD. As the weather starts to warm up a bit over the course of the next 6 weeks or so, I’ll feature more products for the open-water beaver trappers.

I've been busy prepping for the Open House on April 12th here at our headquarters in Savanna, Illinois. We're going to be unveiling the TS-85 Beaver Trap, Kyle's new DVD on coyote trapping in the New Mexico Sandhills, and closeout special pricing on a pile of inventory (I'm talking cheaper than wholesale!!!). You're not going to want to miss this 1st Annual Event! Darren Johnson and my mom will be providing us all with free burgers and bratwursts, the NTA President, our dad Kraig Kaatz, will be here to answer your legislative questions, Tim and Brent Sawatzky will talk serious mink trapping methods (Tim's literally caught 10s of thousands of mink), and we'll have the opportunity for some hardcore one-on-one trapping instruction/consultation. Our guest list is growing more everyday. Call or email me to RSVP. I'm stoked for April 12th, it'll be great times for sure...--Kellen

Keep an eye out later this week for my first DVD in the Trapline Anecdotes series -"New Mexico Sandhills Coyote Trapping." The retail price will be only $29.95 plus shipping... They are being replicated now, and we hope to have them available this week. - KYLE
Open House Update!
Our April 12th Open House is starting to turn into quite the event! We’ll be unveiling our new beaver trap The “TS85.” Tim and Brent Sawatzky manufacture this trap in Minnesota, and I just got word from Tim that they’ll be here for our open house. We’ll have Tim do a mink demo while he’s here! You may not recognize Tim’s name, but I’d lay a bet that very few trappers have caught as many mink as Tim has. With his record year being 900+ in 6 weeks, you’ll surely be able to pick up some mink trapping tips from Tim.
Also, my new DVD “Trapline Anecdotes: New Mexico Sandhills Coyote Trapping” will be available at a special price to those in attendance. We’ll be having all sorts of specials! Close out specials, 30% off specials, even a free gift for those that RSVP by April 1st! This marks our 1 year anniversary of coming back to Illinois, and in appreciation of you the customer, we want to give something back. When you see the discounted pricing and special offers when you get here, you’ll understand what we mean.
We thank you for all of your business this past year, and hope to see you April 12th. Keep checking back for more updates on possibly more special guests to come!
