ATTENTION NON-MEMBERS AND FORMER MEMBERS
"Why would I want to join/rejoin the Minnesota Trappers
Association?"
Do you subscribe to the Trapper and Predator Caller,
read the MTA column and still aren't a member?
Are you a beginner or an old veteran with nothing left
to learn?
Are you a retirement age individual that could use a
challenging change of pace and a little pocket money?
Are you a high school or college student that can't find
the money for that shotgun you've been looking at?
Do you trap for sport, relaxation or Christmas money?
Did you "used to trap" as a kid and really would like
to get back into it"
Is there a certain species that has you pulling out your
hair trying to consistently catch its kind?
Do you wish you had someone to trap with or someone to
teach you a thing or two?
Are you a commercial trapper or a hobbyist?
Belonging to a group of sportsmen united in a common
interest can offer opportunities to improve your catch, learn new techniques
and forge friendships with like minded individuals that will only help
to increase the quality of our time in the field. Fur handling, marketing
and trapping techniques are freely exchanged among our members. First time
trappers are especially encouraged and directed.
Let me ask you a few more questions;
1.) Do you like the three day conibear check?
2.) Do you really miss those site tags for fisher/marten/otter?
3.) Have you grown tired of taking multiple animals out
of colony muskrat traps?
4.) Do increased limits and longer seasons on some furbearers
give you "too much" trapping opportunity?
5.) Doesn't a snowmobile make winter beaver trapping
more efficient?
These are just five prime examples of positive moves
the Minnesota Trappers Association has made on your behalf to help maximize
your time and enjoyment in the field.
Law changes such as these don't just happen by chance
or by simply wishing.
Are outdated and/or confusing laws preventing you from
fully enjoying your time in the field?
Would you like to become part of the team that’s really
making a difference?
Instead of merely watching things happen, join us in
MAKING THINGS HAPPEN!
The larger our membership, the greater our influence in
making the future better for the next generation of trappers.
Please join us in our pledge to making a difference.
