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.

UTA Youth membership drive

​We had a great donation from Lane Abraham! he donated the cost of 20 UTA youth memberships. With this donation we are doing a youth membership drive to help get youth involved in trapping as well as the UTA.
To be eligible to receive one of these youth memberships, you must be under the age of 18 and have completed an approved fur harvester education course. You will also be required to submit a short letter to the UTA describing your trapping experience or why you would like to become a trapper. Please have them attach this letter with their UTA membership form (form is listed above this section) when they send it in. All new members will be entered in special drawings for gift certificates from Montgomery Trap & Supply company and other trapping related prizes. We will do the drawing at the convention on September 9th. Thank you, Lane!
 
We will advertise locations and dates for upcoming fur harvester classes on our Facebook page and here on the website as they become available.
We are working toward arranging more Fur harvester Education courses in different areas to make it easier to complete this requirement as well as getting more instructors. If you are interested in becoming a fur harvester instructor, please contact Walter Szarek at 435-744-7004. If there is enough people interested in becoming an instructor, we might possibly be able to have a Fur harvester instructor class as well at the convention.
