The NTA does not have state chapters. Individual associations can affiliate with the NTA and as a result get a board director to the NTA.

According to this article from Outdoor News, NR trapping has been banned in Minnesota since 1919...

From the article -

According to Ed Boggess, DNR Fish and Wildlife Division director, a nonresident trapping license was available in 1909 for $10. Ten years later, nonresident trapping was prohibited and a $1 trapping (resident) license took effect. Today a trapping license costs $20.

Just a few years ago, the state Legislature brought about a change: Nonresidents who own land in Minnesota would be allowed to “take small game by trapping” only on the land owned by the nonresident. The nonresident would be required to have a small game (nonresident) and trapping license, currently about a $100 investment.

Boggess said he believes one reason the change was made was to aid nonresident landowners who were having beaver problems on their land. In 2010 and 2011, he said, the DNR sold seven nonresident trapping licenses each year for nonresident landowners to trap on their own land.

I think you have been given miss-representation of the facts.

Very possible and at this time seems likely.
