FUR TAKERS OF AMERICA

Our original incorporation papers stated that our purpose was "...to promote interest in and accumulate and disseminate knowledge concerning the trapping of fur bearing animals among person interested therein." Education is one of our goals and we believe that can be accomplished in a number of ways.

One of the ways we educate is by publishing a monthly magazine entitled The Fur Taker. We look at the magazine as a "tool of teaching" through the articles written by experts as well as everyday outdoorsmen in the fields of trapping, hunting, and related activities. Reports from chapters/affiliates, officers, and general activities of the organization are also included.

We also host the only known college of its kind, the FTA Trapper's College. We are able to teach proper and ethical methods of trapping from generations to generations going back to the forefathers of the industry.

The Fur Takers of America National Rendezvous, a national convention, is held yearly at various locations throughout the United States. Check elsewhere on this website or in The Fur Taker for details.
