(and do so with pride).

I'm talking about apparel logo gear from your state Association (or NTA/FTA). There is a great article in our state association's magazine last month in which WTA's merchandising coordinator told about how she ended up having a friendly visit with someone after they asked her about her logoed trapping shirt. Jody does a great job, and I hope members support her efforts by wearing WTA gear with pride. I wear WTA gear when possible. Sometimes it may lead to trapping opportunities. If you are at a fair or other community event and someone sees your apparel, they may keep you in mind next time they have say a muskrat problem at their property. Also I think if you go to ask permission while wearing a WTA shirt or hat, it seems to make ya look a little more professional.

my wife an i only have trapper t-shirt , she wear them to work, she works at school, everyone that help out at convention get a shirt , i have had lots of nice talks about trapping while on vacation, because of my shirt's an cap

Its always a chance to promote responsible trapping to the uninformed public

When we go out I try to wear one of my trapping shirts and I have a predator lure hat I always wear. It’s Only started a couple conversations, but I don’t get out much

You can have her head bands and shirts custom embroidered. My wife can make about anything on her machines.

My wife and I always wear trapping gear. I've worked with her so she can answer questions she may get from people. It is our lifestyle and we're proud of what we do!

I get a few “ looks” when at the gas pumps with my hip boots on....and my green wool jacket with the NHTA patch on it. Most think Iam with Fish and Game .....lol

I wear my trapping shirt at the local school when im doing a trapping presentation. Ill also wear my waders in the gas stations! Ive had some pretty positive contacts, not many anti''s out here though. I have some that dont know about it and ask a lot of questions but its more of education

Ms. V and i , always wear stuff trapping related.
Fur also, i get more compliments on fur than negative.
Don't get me wrong go to big cities and you will still get negative comments.
Younger crowd sure likes " got beaver " in pink t-shirt October any way.

Think the whole town of absarokee knows us as the " skunk people "

I'll wear an association hat I like everyday until it wears out. Never really think about it. Have some trapper bling I hang around my neck for.those times I feel like talking to people. The first thing they ask about are the beaver teeth.

D4 was selling these last weekend

Here is other side

If it's anything like wearing coon hunting or hog hunting apparel it will get you escorted out of the school here. In 1999 it got me sent to the principals office and he made me wear my shirt inside out the rest of the day and told me if I wore it to school again I'd be sent home.

Do everything you do/wear with pride.

Almost every day

My wife is super happy when I wear this one out...

In Western ok!?

I have a pile of WTA T-shirts I have accumulated over the many years. I wear them every chance I get. Some have gotten pretty faded and they tend to shrink a little more every year.

I serve on a town committee that oversees the shoreline of Lake Onalaska. Others on the committee tend to be on the liberal/lefty side. All of them have yard signs out that are quite different from the two large blue flags we have out in our yard as well as the standard yard signs for those that tend to vote and speak on the conservative side (we live on a busy corner in the country). We had a recent Zoom meeting and I made sure my WTA logo T-shirt was front and center and quite visible. I can hardly wait till it is cool enough out to wear my fancy new WTA hooded sweatshirt.
