Conventions

We host a convention in Escanaba MI every year for easy (and close to home) access to trapping and outdoor supplies, free educational trapping and hunting demonstrations, and fun kids activities.

Policy Advocacy

We participate in meetings to advocate for favorable trapping policies at NRC Meetings, Fur Taker User Group Meetings, and DNR sponsored meetings on various topics affecting trapping.
