I never suggested trappers should have years of university training. I said trappers are basically 'trade' organizations like lobster fisherman, lumberjacks and carpenters.
I have no narrative Dave. I was merely pointing out some of the advantages and pitfalls of self governance. I have no dog in this fight. I'm a member of the ATA but have never met any of the executive.
I think if you re-read my post I point out that any organization should resist the temptation to build empires.
Ultimately it is the business of trappers themselves to decide what kind of organization they want.
Trapping is facing difficult challenges. IMO having a united front to face these challenges would be a good thing.
