[QUOTE="Rick Tischaefer, post: 239198, member: 3901"] [INDENT]My name is Rick Tischaefer and I am the President of the North Dakota Fur Hunters and Trappers Association. I also serve as a coordinator for the North Dakota Cooperative Fur Harvester Education Program, a joint outdoor education program with our association and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. Many of you may remember this post from last year.
