This 2007 to 2008 Trapping Season, TFTA Members can once again look forward to savings by Not Paying Commision of fur that is sold at the TFTA Fur Auctions.
 When commissions are charged, the trapper will see the amount with held by the local fur buyer by deducting the commission from the Fur Check.  The commission deduction does not go to the Fur Buyer.  The commission goes to the Association hosting the Fur Auction.

One of the benefits of membership with the TFTA is that
No Commission is charged to the member when they sell fur.
The TFTA continues to operate on membership dues and donations
and is still able to make regular contributions to our affiliates
in addition to paying the annual affiliation dues.
