It is the 29th of April and the ice is still on some of our lakes west of Duluth. The beaver are still good, but I don't know for how much longer. One of our trapping students, Evan - age 12, is catching bigger beaver than I am. He really paid attention in trapping class!
By now you've probably heard about the Lynx ruling. See President Gary Meis' report.
When I went to the Region 2 meeting at Blackduck, I had a request from one of the NTA members about how much the NTA made from the Visa account. I contacted NTA's Dave Roberts and the figure is $4,184.00. So keep using those NTA Visa cards.
This will be the last report before the Summer Conventions. I will go to Iowa to represent you. At the MTA Convention, you can find me at the NTA table where you can renew your membership or join as a new member. If you would like to spell me at the NTA table, I would really appreciate it. This would give me a little time to enjoy our convention.
And, as I say.Take someone trapping!
