Hello my friends,

There seems to be an empty hole with having our state convention along with many other trapping related gatherings being canceled. Hopefully, this all straightens out soon for many people’s sake. Our board met through conference calls. We are trying to do a face to face board meeting in early October.

Our winter membership meeting and legal defense banquet are still scheduled for mid-Jan. I am lining up demo presenters. If you're interested, let me know.

A District 7 Trapper’s Education Field day is scheduled for September 19th, 2020.  I will be the lead instructor. Program will start at 9:00am and finish at 2:00pm. See the MTA web site for signup details or call me 507-276-6322. This will be an outdoor event.

Our District 7 fall meeting, scheduled for Sept.20th at Schmitt Enterprise Inc., has been canceled.

As the season approaches, I ask my fellow trappers to be respectful. Don’t trespass, use proper disposal methods, respect landowners, and fellow outdoors people. Take people with you if they ask. Educate and talk to non trappers about our sport. This can be positive and you may gain another supporter as our friend. Volunteer and help out when you can.

Pass it on, Brian
