I have been President of a state trapping association and a Vice-President of another state trapping association and I can say without a hitch that larger associations like these are representing the interests of the individual trappers and work to insert & protect laws of the vocation.
Are the orgs perfect? What? They have people like us in them for goodness sake. Do people in them work hard with little to no compensation. Yep.
It's for sure the 10-90 rule. 10% doing the lifting. 90% carry on and on and on.
Donna and I belong to numerous associations. We have and we will for all our lives.
Blessings, Mark

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! No he just said you were to be shamed if you were not or do not join. That in itself is enough to not join if he is somehow involved or in charge. LLL

Danny Clifton many of the same people are still officers james Beings as this statement has a direct impact on a guy rejoining the NTA: Please share which Officers are still in Office.

If my post offended you so be it and sorry, if I got one new person to join my post was successful. Yeah the post was part out of frustration, I just cant see why anyone would not be a member of the NTA, FTA or state associations and could be a trapper. Do as you will, but talk to the New Mexico trappers next year their final year of trapping on public land or Colorado, California trappers and on and on. The anti trappers are well established in every state and very much established nationally they are in your back yard ready to take something you cherish. Your post got me to join so mission accomplished. I'm surprised so many were offended. I took the tag line as tongue-in-cheek and recognized the sense of passion and fear of the potential loss of trapping privileges. In the end that's what it's all about. The guys who won't support a unified defense of trapping because their egos got offended are biting their nose to spite their face. How offended you gonna be when the day comes that your state goes the way of California, New Mexico, Hawaii?

NTA was involved in the New Mexico and probably the California LOSS. While they may try, there are no guarantees. Sometimes I question thier local knowledge. Especially here.

Do not take this wrong but I am ignorant on this subject. What does the NTA actually do with the money they raise and what do they do to support trapping? Maybe if you explained what they do some more would actually get involved. I am a member of the IA trappers association and I know the lobbiests that work for trappers locally. Seems an odd way to get new members by shaming those not involved instead of maybe educating them. LLL Make the effort to educate yourself. To many wait for someone else to convince them to join and make stronger one of the few groups advocating for trapping and trappers. there is power in numbers.

I'll educate you a little LL. In their magazine trapping is referred to as a sport sometimes. I know how you feel about that. We both feel the same about that marketing Faux Pas.

Any discussion of NTA can only be positive. I dont want banned. So horn how about you tell us how much spending on protecting trapping has increased from the 80 cents for every hundred dollars collected in 2012 and which officers have changed.

Renewed my state and NTA membership this morning. Thanks for the reminder!!!! Thankyou for re upping your state membership Castormound! And to you wyfurharvester for your efforts! We have the same issue trying to get trappers here to join up. Ive been working hard on this here in wyoming. Last winter we were down to under 40 members and in 2019 close to 4000 licenses were sold. Thanks again fellas!

Like I mentioned E.J. As with most things, there's 10% rowing the skiff and 90% on shore telling the 10% where to row.

Oh I know more than I let on or that you think I might. On another note I may offer a word of advice to the OP. You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar means that it is much easier to get what you want by being polite rather than being rude and insolent. Shaming someone into doing something is a leftist move. Notice I am not trying to draw flies with that statement. LLL

Paul or other Mods. The first part of the Last line is the ONLY thing that can be construed as negative Please delete that sentence if necessary and leave the post as it is educational about the NTA of today Any discussion of NTA can only be positive. I dont want banned. So horn how about you tell us how much spending on protecting trapping has increased from the 80 cents for every hundred dollars collected in 2012 and which officers have changed.
Here is a list of the current officers. https://www.nationaltrappers.com/contactnta.htmlI know that the President, Vice President and General organizer are not the Names that I remember from when the problems of the past, Solliman is dead. Wills is in Prison. I haven't herd anything about Craig Katz in years. There are more links but I wont post a link to an AR website. https://www.kristv.com/news/local-n...-long-term-sex-trafficking-of-young-girlI'm having problems finding a link to Solliman's Obituary but he died suddenly, I believe while on a trip to Michigan. In Short all of the Officers have changed. Maybe a phone call or two can answer your financial questions. The NTA was a Mess. It has improved by leaps and Bounds; and is continuing to get Better.

Horn, there is nothing in any of your links showing amount colected and where it was spent. The last report I saw, 2012 finances, said 80 cents for every hundred dollars collected was spent to promote trapping. The two Daves were already long gone. I have said all Im going to say now. Paul please delete this if it violates your rules.

No way it's 80 cents out of a 100.00. It's gotta be 80 cents out of every dollar.

[quote=danny clifton]many of the same people are still officers james Well, that says a lot. Think I'll pass for the time being. Jim Danny the above is the only reason that I asked the question that I did. You Challenging me to provide financials is a Red Herring. I'm fine with that... I have also said my piece about this.
