I think that is a great idea! It is what we need, somewhere where your voice is heard!

everyones voice and opions is going to be heard and took into deep consideration........we want to have a club where everyones opion will makes a difference and that each person isnt just a number......we want to have the demos where a scheduled person does a demo and someone out of the crowd shows how they do it or a new trapper to make a set and seasoned trappers helps to show him how the set would be better.......i have so many ideas that i want to see come true with this club that my hands are shaking as i type this...i love being able to show people different sets and just talk trapping.....it gets me fired up....as its looking the camden rod and gun club is going to donate there club house to the cause for are meetings.......marshrat where are you from? ?

As long as we're discussing Offensive posts, As a NYSTA MEMBER, I for one, am more than a little offended by what the above post may be insinuating. Apparently, it's easy for some to sit on the sidelines and find fault and criticize Our VOLUNTEER NYSTA leadership without bothering to lend a hand to help. As a NYSTA Member, I am very happy with the way our NYSTA Leadership protects my trapping rights with the DEC in Albany, especially with the current political Climate we are living in. I consider my Membership fees MONEY WELL SPENT. Just My two cents. walleyed

Well said Walleyed...........tough to imagine the so called spokeman for the new group having a stance like that. Not the best way to have others get behind you.

Tough for me to imagine this spokesman calling our Vice President...........what was it ......."Capt America" Thats just plain Rude !!!!!.................but thats just my two cents

I second what Walleyed posted and I will add,we are very fortunate to have members of our trapping community that are willing to take positions in the NYSTA whether they are paid or not paid.Most of the people have been on the scene for a long time and have just about seen it all over the years,things are the way they are for a reason.

you all know how to pile on ;D.... the captain america remark was un called for... but opinions are like ... well you know... figure i have both ... so... here it goes.... the post was about a new club forming... not a young mans opinion...
for nysta to grow it needs... or could use affiliate groups to spread the word, so to speak... i did note how he showed his positive thoughts on dec officer fonda in this post and the importance of some dec input....
im a lifetime member of nysta and am thankful, respect and appreciate all of what our nysta volunteers and others do... that doesn't mean i don't have issues from time to time...
one issue i have is a man, pretty accomplished in his field just posted his private system and publicly donated the rights to nysta and an another to use... man took some grief in doing so... not one thank you that i seen from nysta, hope someone at least unofficially thanked the man for his time and donation... i don't know!!... but as long as we all have opinions... hope the next official meeting of nysta its discussed whether to accept his offer and at least an official thank you...
think the idea of a new affilliate club is a good one... hope it works out for those who can participate... sounds like some pretty good possitives in that first post.... jim

I get more rats each year than Walleye, doesn't mean I am a pro. He also doesn't have to work during rat season. I enjoy reading his posts and I still would even if he got 12 rats a year. I know he doesn't care for me but I can care less, I still enjoy his posts.

I have NEVER claimed to be a super trapper for any species, and I'm certainly NOT considering myself a pro Rat trapper. I'm Just a determined one, but I love to do it and share my adventures with my fellow trappers. Like everyone else, I'm entitled to my opinion and If I see something posted that is Out of Line, I'm going to speak my mind on it. The line about "the $40,000 dollars and where it goes" rubbed me the wrong way, and as I am entitled, gave my opinion and commentary on it. I think whatever it costs us to keep a Pro-trapping Lobbyist in the Senate and Assembly in Albany is well worth the money, and to insinuate that the Money is mishandled is Bull-POOPY. If someone's going to Post something as Mud-slinging as that "Where did the $40,000 dollars go" Post then they better be ready to occupy the hotseat and experience some well-deserved scrutiny. Please, Fill us all in on exactly what someone was getting at when they took a stab at Our NYSTA's Leadership's reputation and integrity. We're All ears. walleyed

Yes i think that does qualify ya as a pro marshrat...I think somewhere in the definition of pro (professional) it states getting paid or something to that effect....
