I really want to support trapping and once I decided I was going to participate in it I joined my state association and the NTA. What others are available and do the bidding for the industry/sport ?

The rest of the state associations.

Other big, not trapping explicitly would be Sportsmans Alliance.

Yes. You get more information in what's going on in other areas , magazines, enews letters, etc. Plus you help boost the numbers which always helps.

It is relatively inexpensive to join most state Trapping organizations. If you opt out of getting one of the national magazines, it is even less expensive.

The greater the membership numbers, the great the influence of the organization when it comes to politicians and other groups. Strength in numbers.

Same as others said, join other states. It gets them more numbers and you stay up on if they need help writing letters and making phone calls to legislators

X2 on Sportsman's Alliance. They're one of the few big umbrella organizations that fight on our (trappers) behalf.

X3 I think the US Sportsmen's Alliance does far more to protect Trapping than the NTA or the FTA.

They're usually at our state convention with a booth but I didn't see them this year.

Most State Organizations have a pitiful percentage of Members compared to Fur bearer licenses sold in the state.

Both of The National Associations also need support.

The more members the more our opinions are valued. Members are Voters.

Here is a link to all of the States and National Associations websites:

Please join one or more.
