Greeting from southwest Va. Hope everyone is
having a great trapping season. I have been setting a few lately and catching
a few critters. I had the opportunity to have my 11 year old granddaughter
with me on my trapline this weekend. She got the opportunity to see a bobcat
and coyote trapped. Really exciting for her. She also was setting out a few
traps herself.
Now to D-1 news. We recently had a meeting at
Shoney's in Wytheville with approximately 19 folks, including members and
family. District 1 has changed our meetings to the second Sunday of the Month
at Shoney in Wytheville at 3:00 pm. D-1 members please attend if at all
possible and enjoy the meeting. At the meeting we voted to donate 500 dollars
to the NTA. We also voted to have a raffle for D1. We will be raffling a
Foxpro-3 or 6-Jake traps, [winners choice]. Drawing will be at our state
convention in Dublin. Anyone wanting chances, see a D-1 member. I understand
that D-2 director has the bldgs lined up for our convention. Good job J.R..
We had our fur demo day at Wytheville livestock market and also a board of
directors meeting was held. A lot of fur was put up and a good time had by all
who attended. Would like to thank Bob Newberry for all his help making the fur
demo day possible. Not much else to report from this district.
We got a lot of young trappers in our area who
are really excelling in trapping as well as fur put up, so ever chance you
get, take a kid trapping with you or on any of your outdoor excursions. Till
next time take care and God bless.

Hello All. It has been quite some time since I
have been able to submit a report due to personal obligations. I hope you all
have had a great fur season. I haven't as yet even been able to make one set
but have wished many times I was able to be out and about doing some trapping.
It has been nearly 3 years now since I was elected District 1 director. In line
with VTA bylaws, we need to elect a new District director. Anyone who is
interested please let me or our president Steve Colvin know. We will have a
meeting on April 10 @ 6:00 p.m. at the Fort Chiswell Family Restaurant to elect
a new director.
