History
of the Alaska Trappers Association ATA has a proud
history, which begins even prior to the formation of the
organization back in 1973. Several strong presidents have led us
through the years. There have been: · good
times and bad times, · happy events
and sad events, · and failures.
Former
president Pete Buist has recaptured many of those times in his
new book on the history of ATA. Buist's entertaining style pulls
no punches. He "... tells it like it was." The 54 page text
includes many photos which augment the rich stories. In
addition, sketches by Joe Dart and John Majak provide extra
character. Appendices include info regarding: ·
lifetime
members, · past members
of the Board of Directors, and · past
recipients of the Fabian Carey Trapper of the Year. This
book will be enjoyed by both long-term members who lived through
the many incidents described in the book, as well as newer
members who wish to learn more about the background and history
of our organization. See also ATA History $15.00

ATA
Wolf Trapping Manual ATA Wolf Trapping
DVD After several
years of development and production, the collective experience
of Alaska's very best wolf trappers has been consolidated into a
manual and DVD. The info contained in these teaching tools would
take the average trapper an entire lifetime to learn. Now, you
can learn both the basics and the 'secret' tricks of the trade.
It's all available to you in this manual and DVD, to learn at
your own speed. These two items do not duplicate each other.
Rather, they were developed to complement each other. We
recommend that they be purchased as a pair.
The manual includes 123 pages of
firsthand practical information, including detailed drawings.
The 34 minute long DVD supplements that material by clearly
demonstrating the principles described in the manual at
real-life settings on Alaskan traplines, for catching North
America's largest and cagiest furbearer.
"The ... Manual is the
'Encyclopedia Alaskana' on wolf trapping... It explains in plain
language and outstanding illustrations how this knowledge can be
applied." - Dick Bishop, retired game biologist and
occasional trapper "I am
favorably impressed by your new video. Anyone who traps wolves
could profit by the tips provided. The greatest value is ... the
graphic examples of various wolf sets. My congratulations ...
for this forward-thinking presentation." - Jim Rearden,
author of Alaska's Wolf Man and former member of the
Alaska Board of Game ATA

Alaskans
How to Handbook The "How To" book is the
brainchild of long-term ATA Editor Joe Dart. Joe wanted to
preserve some of the skills necessary for life in The Bush. He
interviewed the experts & put their thoughts into words
& pictures which are easily understood. You can learn how to
make snowshoes, a fish wheel, a dog sled and many other useful
tools. This book is fascinating reading even if you never plan
to actually construct the items described. It also makes an
excellent gift. $20.00
