I could probably find as many reasons to not join an organization(s) as I could to join. I choose to join as many as I can. Of the organizations that I do belong to, of course there are some things that I don't always agree with, but by and large I find that (as Boco posted) numbers do matter. And, like it or not, there is strength in those numbers. There is no reason to feel shamed into join anything. If you don't want to join, then don't join, that's your prerogative. By the same token, please don't complain if and when any of us lose any rights to do the things we like to do.

I believe the concern in the past has been what they're not doing, with a large sum of money.

Danny, Which Officers are the same as the Solliman/Wills era ( I assume that is the Era you are refering to) if I am wrong please correct me either here or via PM.

I just joined NTA a month or 2 ago. I also belong to our state organization. Now I'm not sure I should have joined NTA after reading some of the posts. I didn't do any research on them before joining, just assumed they are a group that needs my money to fight the antis. Mr. Daniel's letter, in my opinion, is a very poor way to gain new membership. In fact, had that letter been sent before I joined, there is a good chance I wouldn't have joined.

Sure are a lot of easily offended people on here. I never thought a bunch of grown (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) men could be so distracted by a couple of words. I say distracted because as Boco said, the only thing that matters is numbers.

There's plenty of organizations for strength in numbers. I don't think anyone has said they're not part of a trapping organization. Some of us just don't support a certain one. Are you a member of Nebraska's trapping association Hoosier? By your reasoning you should be. I mean it would increase our numbers here in Nebraska. All we should care about is numbers. I'd hope you support every state association there is. We need those numbers.

My reasoning (not that it matters or I should have to defend it being as though it's my money) involves the issues from years ago. I prefer to see my money go where I can see it is used to benefit the cause I am supporting.

No I couldn't afford to even if I wanted to and I know not many on here could afford to either. Just 2 national and my state. You know that's not what I meant. Of course if we were all millionaires yes we should join every state and sign up our family in friends too.

Well, maybe not every trapper can afford to pay the national dues. Does that make them "whiny losers?" Some people could afford to be a members of all of them. I can't imagine they'd be able to unless they only invested their money in things that show results. I'm still digging for that pie chart of just how much a certain organization spent on trappers. Hint it wasn't much. Lot of pockets were padded at the top.

Lobbying government aint cheap.Hotel rooms meals etc all add up for the officers/directors attending the capitol and meeting with the politicians/lawmakers.
But its the best money spent by far-You know-an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.A bit late when it is in the courts.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

For those that are/ were offended by Mr. Daniel's letter, why don't you contact him and share your feelings? For my money, the NTA is the best bang I can ever hope to get for my buck(s). I am not able to attend all the meetings John Daniels or the other board members do. I am not able to keep tabs on all the anti-trapping issues these folks try to deal with. And...I sure can't lobby on either a national or local level for my best interests or yours, when it comes to trapping. For my One Year NTA Membership of $30, or about $0.82 a day, I think I get a lot of benefit and representation and I will continue to support the NTA.

No of course not. If someone somehow managed to take what I said to mean they should take food from their plate to join an orgnization, I apologize.

I don't think the OP was calling anyone a "whining Loser", he was just trying to get your alls attention. As mentioned earlier numbers do count or the squeaky wheel will get the grease!

Well said! I joined around the same time and am wishing I'd have done more research now.
