President's report
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I hope you are doing well this holiday season and that you are finding success on your traplines. For me I was able to do a little high country beaver trapping before all the ice and snow set in. I had a great time doing it, and I’m looking forward to trapping muskrats soon.
We have been busy with the RAC meetings this last little bit. We tried to have representation at all the RAC meetings. The UTA proposed some changes we talked about in previous emails. We have meetings with the heads of the different departments with the DWR coming up. We want to represent you the best that we can, so please send in your feedback. We hope to see some good changes soon that will help you out when you go out trapping! We will be at the Board meeting on January 3rd representing the UTA.
We have the Fur Sale coming up! February 10th-12th, 2023 in Nephi at the Juab County Fairgrounds (400 W Center St, Nephi, UT). We have a few changes to this sale like I have said in previous emails. We will be using a new system to run the fur sale, so we ask for your patience in advance. If you have traps or trapping supplies, you can sell them at the sale. The traps and trapping supplies are open to everyone to bid on. If you bring Lures, we ask that you put them in a box with something to stabilize/protect them, so they do not get damaged or broken.
We will have a green/carcass buyer at the sale. If you would like to sell any, please contact Stan Bassett at 435-770-0884. The DWR will also be at the sale tagging cats and doing the bounty for the coyotes.
We will have demos at the sale again. We are still in the process of finalizing the schedule, we will send out the full schedule in our mailing. We are looking for people willing to help do demos for the fur sales and conventions. Whether you’re a new trapper or a seasoned veteran, we can always learn something new from each other. If you would like to, please contact any of the UTA officers. We will also have a sign-up list at the fur sale.
The volume of fur will be a big indication whether we will have a one-day sale or a two-day sale. If you can, please check-in your fur as soon as possible. The check-in process will also be different. The change up is where the fur will be stored. Once you receive your lots and lot tag numbers from the computer table, you will take your lot number tags and your fur over to the west building where we usually have our Sunday sale. From there they will be tagged and put into the sale. We made these changes to accommodate for the possibility of having a one-day sale and getting the best price for your fur as well as better protection for your fur.
I wish you the best this Holiday season and I hope to see you at the fur sale!
Best wishes,
-Cody Bassett
