Did anybody ever stop to think that maybe this is a situation where some of the previous money grabbers in the NTA are now working with some anti's in other countries. I am sure they could find a way to make money from them. They would have member lists ect. and the money would be available. HP

my way even the kits are good ,and little cats can be released. serious. we have kits out the kazoo in wyoming and they are such a pest. I`ve had days in the spring of finding 20 kit fox dens for every single red or coyote den. they are like daggone fleas. the funny ( sad) part is the wyoming fa and g says they are endangered and protected. if they were legal I`m sure 100 a day for extended periods would be very easy for a worker. I remember a few trips to new mexico in my pre -softie days, and a kit or a grey either one in steel is BAAAAAAD news.

I have received correspondence from the producer of the proposed documentary. It is one hour long and will screen in the prime slot of 9.00pm.
So do we have any takers who believe they can do a good job? The person who will be taking the journey as the presenter does have fur in her wardrobe (or so I am told).

Just a quick update to confirm that the ranch fur segment has already been filmed. It is nice to see them involved in this.
Would be sad to see wild fur miss out or worse still some fool without any real skills get the job in front of really knowledgable folks.
Bob, I am told the person doing the work is more homely than good looking but then a good looking girl told me that so there could be some jealousy here.

Yes I have a couple of emails from folks asking me about the set up. They saw the post on Dobbins.
I can understand the reluctance but at times sense should prevail and sense in this case would say go ahead. But heck may be they will just let it go with ranch fur given that their initial date for filming a trapline was next week.

it`s just the wrong time of year for any sane trapline here- mud rain mud rain mud rain, snow mud more rain. nothing would look good anywhere by anyone here due to weather. if they were here last october man could I have done a wonderful job, but I`d think only a fool would trust how things look to the weather here at this time of year. they just are requesting a ride along at the wrong time. timing timing timing. like you don`t go out in a row boat to fish during the perfect storm. simply put, they are just too late.

I for one am glad no one bit, it still smells without final approval and editing control.

Well I have her number you want to give her a call?
Well Bob given the weather it might be interesting, I mean to say peering out of the door on a cold, snowy, icy, rainy morning and saying no sense going out in that and then a quick chat at how difficult trapping is. Now that sounds like a good line.
As for no one biting yet well I have reply about that but it would probably upset a few folks so I will leave it at present until after I get a copy of the program that will go to air other than to use the byline I would be using at present given what is happening 'Fur trappers in North America must have something to hide no one would allow us to come with them on a days trapping.'

Dave Miller, the NTA DNIA, has been in contact with the IFTF representative from the UK regarding RDF Media. Our contact informs us that they are very cautious about this RDF group and feel that they likely have ties with a group called Respect for Animals which is and has been for years strongly opposed to foothold traps. Our DNIA should have more information soon but our opinion at this time is that we should discourage trappers from cooperating in any way.
Dave Miller, DNIA Kraig Kaatz, President NTA

but it`s from a "dnia". I`m so convinced the nta is a bunch of con men that I don`t believe anything they say. I mean they hired the ex v.p. of hsus, a convicted felony embezzler and then gave him and his chronys a reputed million dollars of trappers money, and now they want to warn trappers of anti stuff? give me a break! maybe this english deal is anti stuff, but if the nta says anything probably there is a good chance they havn`t a clue what they are talking about, or maybe they know exactly what they are doing, like when they started throwing out members that refused to support their laisions with ex hsus v.p. felons. some of you think I`M NUTS? take a reality ck. about who is nuts and who isn`t.

I don't trust it.
My Spidey senses tell me that it is a booby trap, and you aren't going to see me with my tittie in the ringer.
It doesn't matter if the NTA people think so or don't think so, I feel that if it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, quacks like a duck......

I would agree with what Dave Miller has to say. I think this is a plot against the US trappers. I also believe that Wills has something to do with this because it sounds so similar to what he has done to the NTA in the past. The M.O. fits. HP
