Guess this one might go collectible as the 2020 FTA meet has been changed from Charlestown, Ind. to a joint convention with the Wisconsin Trappers Association.

And I also enjoy reading the magazine cover to cover each month

However due to the virus state officials shut it down. The Wisconsin Trappers Assoc. agreed to allow the FTA convention to take along with their Fall convention.

Mike do you think they will still auction it off now that they have moved the convention
