I have just the opposite problem (if you want to call it that). Years ago I bought a life membership with the Minnesota Trappers Assn for $200, which it cost at that time. Since then the life membership has gone up considerably. I feel guilty because I keep getting the magazines and only paid $200. It doesn't seem fair to those who are buying a life membership at today's cost.

I've been thinking about that lately since there's no interest to be earned any more on these things. Back in 1988 when I bought a lifetime membership in the Iowa Trappers Assn, I think it was $250 and the way it was set up was that the interest on your money paid for your magazine subscription and they actually made money on it.

Your post triggered me to look at their website and see what the cost is now. They just raised the lifetime membership from $400 to $1000. I'm probably costing the ITA money, which of course was the opposite of my intent at the time. Guess I'll be thinking about how to correct that.

send me 200 dollars and i'll see what i can do.
