Since 1975, The Utah Trappers Association have been the leading advocate for protecting sportsman's trapping rights in the state of Utah.
The mission of the Utah Trappers Association (UTA) is to promote our privilege of trapping in an ethical manner. As trappers, we are responsible to do all we can to ensure that our rich heritage of trapping will be passed to the next generation.
We place strong emphasis on treating the wildlife that we catch with the utmost respect. This respect begins before we set a trap and carries on in pelt preparation and handling. We strive to educate others on proper and ethical trapping techniques as well using proper techniques with fur handling.
We strive to educate others on the importance of trapping, and how important of a role it is with wildlife conservation.
We are Trappers helping Trappers.
If you are not a member of the UTA or another state or national trapping organization, we strongly encourage you to do so. The future of trapping depends on strong state and national trapping organizations. Join Us Today!

UTA membership drive
Great news! Our membership drive will continue until the Fur Sale and we will draw our winners on February 9, 2025 during our membership meeting. The latest round of our membership drive came to an end and are excited to welcome all of the new members to the UTA. We hope we can get acquainted at our upcoming fur sale on February 7th-9th in Nephi, and swap a few stories!
We still have some free junior memberships available that were graciously donated by Lane Abraham. To qualify for these, you must be under eighteen years old and have a Fur harvester education certificate and include a brief essay describing a little about yourself which could include your trapping experience and or why you would like to become a trapper.
We encourage all our members to patronize and show their appreciation to the people and businesses that support us. Thank you to Nathan at Montgomery Trap supply and Lane Abraham for these donations!
You can join today online in the join us section and you can also find the paper forms on our website as well as where to mail it for the youth who would like a free youth membership.
