Thank you for visiting the official website of
the Fur Takers of America, Inc. (FTA). The corporation was founded in 1968 and
is incorporated in the state of Missouri. FTA represents thousands of members
across the United States and Canada. FTA is governed by a
Governing Board which consists of 5 elected
officers, 15 directors who are elected, and 1 appointed representative. They
are responsible for making all rules and regulations that are deemed necessary
for proper or orderly conduct of its affairs and management of its property,
consistent with its Charter and By-Laws. These officials are also charged with
the responsibility of informing the membership of legislative concerns, both
state and national, that may arise. Protecting the rights of all sportsmen is
one of our goals.

Season 2--Management Advantage on The
Outdoor Channel (Same
program, just a slightly different title)
At our June 2010 meeting, the FTA
Governing Board voted to once again sponsor "Trapping
Chronicles" on the Management Advantage
program that airs on the Outdoor Channel. Once
again there will be thirteen two-minute educational
spots, each airing for a total of six times, which will
explain how important trapping is to overall wildlife
management. With the re-showing of the series, in total
there will be 78 segments over a six-month period in
mainstream cable TV.
For those who may not be
fully aware of the mission, "Trapping Chronicles" is a
series of short infomercials aimed at bringing the
importance of trapping to the attention of the Outdoor
Channel audience. We know that landowners, land
managers, and hunters of kinds might not completely
understand the critical nature of trapping as a part of
successful wildlife management. Our mission is not to
turn everyone into a trapper, but rather to be certain
that the outdoor use community both understands and
supports trapping. The point is we are not targeting
trappers--we are targeting outdoors people, landowners,
managers, voters, and in many cases, Natural Resource
policy makers.
We will publish the show
time and titles when they become firm, but in the
meantime, thanks to all who supported last year, and we
hope you will consider supporting again--and we hope
many new supports get on board as well. We are, after
all, talking about proactive efforts to see that
trapping remains an American way of life for many
decades to come.
