Hello VTA members! As your Interim Recording Secretary, I thought I'd introduce myself. My family and I live in Christiansburg. I have been an avid outdoorsman all my life and have been trapping for the last seven years. I am amazed at how, with each passing year, my interest in trapping continues to grow. From my first attempts at fox trapping as more of a curiosity and challenge to today where I run a wildlife control company, I continue to want to know more about trapping and the animals we pursue.
I would like to publicly acknowledge the self-less contributions you veteran trappers have provided me in the way of knowledge and skill, specifically Mr. Bob Newberry. It would be difficult to count the number of novice trappers that have gotten their start in his fur shed. My interest in serving in this role is in this very same spirit of giving back. All of us can strive to provide some encouragement to a new trapper, help the VTA organization grow, educate our elected officials on the merits of trapping, and continue to help non-trappers understand the conservation value of what we do.
Thank you for this opportunity. If there's anything I can do for anyone, please do not hesitate to contact me.
David
