Just received my Wisconsin Trapper,and seen that Gary "the Beav" Mather was inducted into the WTA Hall of Fame. Pam Mather wrote a very good article about Gary's trapping adventures starting at age 13 all the way up to the present time. Not only is Gary a good trapper, but he has done his part and more to support the Wisconsin Trapper's Association over the years. Certainly a good representative for trappers to the DNR and the general public.

Congratulations to Gary, it was great to see that he got this well deserved honor.

Good deal man after many years gaining knowledge.

Does the WTA have a physical museum or hall of fame?
