I trap. Used to belong to half a dozen or more. Think the only one I am current on is FTA and I'm iffy about renewing there even.

I'll absolutely join another..... ANY state.... if anyone can convince me why I should. Facts.... not sentiments.

Honesty is what you want?
I”ve trapped over 45 years and most of that I was not a member. Back in 80s I initially joined our state’s organization. Then one year in early 90s I hosted a state convention in Crete NE and got to see the workings up close and personal of the THEN officers of that organization in the meeting and watched them go toe to toe with my very close friend at Nebraska G&P, Frank Andelt, who was the fur bearer biologist at that time. Arguments were over newly proposed trap tag laws. I left the room and went out into the main convention area and hung out with Ludy Sheda rest of the evening. I didn’t renew my membership that year and guess what we got trap tagging laws anyway and hey we’ve done just fine with it all these years with no issues I was aware of. I can’t even tell you if half those guys even still trap today and I never want to deal with those individuals again.
Fast forward to 2023 and when I was selling my furs to another good friend of mine Kevin Jones I learned that Kevin is now the president and all the old regime is no longer involved with the Nebraska Fur Havesters. It’s a new group, it’s run well, and even heard some of my other favorites were getting involved like Mr. Roy Greenfield, well that was music to my ears. So I handed Kevin a check for my membership dues and now I’m a member again after decades of sitting it out. I’m still a member today.
I trapped all those years whether I was a member or not.
Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

This year will be my 71st year trapping and I do belong to a couple of trapping organizations, one a Life-Member, and neither is my State trapping organization!! I admit I’ve been to two conventions in all those years and verified I’m not a glad-hander!

I trap. Completed my bucket list of thirty-three furbearers in 2025. Life member National Trappers Association and Missouri Trappers Association. Member of Idaho, Illinois and Fur Takers. Past member of Alaska, Iowa, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah. Considering lifetime to Arizona because it's the state that allowed me to get critter thirty-three. Gotta come up with the $500 first. Attend any trapper gathering in any state as my schedule and bank account permits. Also, a member of the Sportsmen's Alliance and a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association.
