Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have.

I went to the FTA Trappers College 3 years ago. This will take your trapping to a whole new level. Unbelievable instructors! I can't wait until my grandson turns 15 next years so that I can take him.

Definately nothing else offered like it anywhere! Life changing experience not only with your trapping ability but friends and relationships that will be with you the rest of your life.

A great experience for me. IIRMC I went 37 years ago and had a great time and was taught so much. Kermit Sterns was my instructor. It was at LaGrange IN back then. Sadly most of the instructors that taught then have passed on, but their teaching of trapping hasn't. I highly recommend the FTA college!
