Almost too many to count.
First one was in Iowa. August 1969. Can't remember if it was NTA or FTA.
Have attended FTA conventions in Kentucky, Michigan, Oregon. Maybe a few others.
NTA conventions in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Indiana, New Mexico, Utah, North Carolina.
State conventions - Oregon (multiple times). Washington (multiple times). Minnesota. Idaho. Wisconsin. Montana.
Have never been to a private Trapping school butnhave been to several NATCA (North American Trap Collectors) meetings.
WOW!! I've really done some traveling over the last 50 years!!!

I've been to quite a few NTA conventions, and several FTA. KS fur harvesters show as well. Went to a NTA in Ohio show in my semi one year bobtailed. Leaving the trailer in a truck stop. Pretty good place to camp. They let me pay primitive rates to park since I didn't need any hookups and all my friends I parked by were in tents or small pull trailer campers. Have done that twice for the state convention though I just took the trailer too.
Never paid for any trapping lessons though I have received a lot of them from friends I was trapping with. Many of them posting here. First lessons I got were from an old poacher. He was a rough old cuss but could trap.

Cant count=too many. I attend the Fha convention every year and the OTA convention before that.Used to compete in all the competitions. Attend all the OFMF summer conventions. I have always attended as many councils workshops and field trips I can get to during the season,first to learn from seasoned trappers and now to pass on and share what I learned with new trappers. I have been to 4 or 5 NTA conventions in the states,over the years.First was back in the 90's in Michigan,then Minnesota,Ohio,and a couple in NY. Would like to go to the Alberta convention some time,but it is too far to go.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have only attended mother natures trapping school. But I have only trapped one year. Lol
You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....
