Antler Drive
Help us fund the battle! If you have some antlers lying around, bring one or more to the FTA Rendezvous as part of an antler drive fundraiser. Both hard brown and white antlers have value.
Drop off your antlers at the FTA booth. We'll have a small collection of 'thank you' gifts for those who donate their antlers.
Don't forget your antlers! This small effort on your part can be a real boost to the FTA's ability to do more proactive work. If you can't make it, please send your antlers with someone who is attending our convention and can bring them. Ask your fellow trappers to help as well!
Each state has different regulations regarding antlers, so please be sure you're in compliance with your local regulations.
