MTA Young Trappers Contest

The MTA Young Trappers Contest is a writing/essay contest, in memory of John Mark Hayden. This is an opportunity for youngsters to convey to the Public Relations Committee why they want to learn more about trapping. They may share any trapping experiences or lack of. A $150 prize package of trapping supplies will be awarded at the Fall Rendezvous. Anyone under the age of 15, by July 1, 2010, is eligible. The youngster or a family member does NOT have to be a member of the Missouri Trappers Association. All the young trapper has to do is write a letter to the Committee Telling them “Why I Want To Learn More About Trapping”. The Public Relations Committee will select the winner.
