Columbia, Missouri to host national trappers convention Aug. 4-7

Missourians who yearn to learn how to trap otters under ice or
clean a turtle, find out more about mountain lions or collectable
traps or possibly meet representatives from international fur
auction houses can do all that and more at the National Fur
Trappers Association’s 52nd annual convention in Columbia Aug. 4
through 7. For those four days, Columbia will be the center of the
nation’s trapping universe, with opportunities to compare notes
with hundreds of trappers, shop for bargains from more than 100
vendors and attend demonstrations on dozens of topics. Missouri
Department of Conservation (MDC) staff will be available to answer
questions and provide information. For more information, visit
