Trapper's Post Magazine                   May/June 2025

As you read this, the trapping season will be in the books. I hope you had a safe and successful season this year. The desdline for this update is before our fur pickup, but I'll put what results I have in the next issue.
Quite a bit has been going on. By now you should have received a card or call from our new insurance carrier regarding accidental coverage, which is now part of membership benefits. They also plan to be at the convention this year to answer any questions etc.
Speaking of conventions, we are working with two potential venues for this year's meeting; we are planning for the same time frame as always. We should have more on this and final dates and venue by the next issue as well.
On the education front, SCTA worked with Camp Woodie for our first (we hope of many) trapper weekends to introduce new folks to our trade. We also worked with SCDNR for the first Predator Workshop and two separate Coyote Management Workshops. These continue to fill up and again we had a full house at each event. I would like to thank the staff at SCDNR for their continued support.
And of course as always we will have our booth at the Sportman's Classic. On the legislative front right now all is quiet. If there are any changes we'll communicate by email, calls, text, and meetings.  Joe Leonard, President
