For North America's more than one-half million trappers, the purpose of trapping varies - from assisting wildlife biologists in furbearer studies, to population and disease control, protection against soil erosion, and for food, clothing and income. And yet, thanks to good management practices, furbearers are more numerous in North America today than 100 years ago. The public needs to know that there is no trapping of endangered species and that we continue to research and encourage the use of the most effective and humane trapping techniques. Trapping has been an integral part of our American Heritage, and we intend to see that it continues to contribute to abundant wildlife and sound management programs.

As a result of Hurricane Katrina there are many areas in both Louisiana and Mississippi that are inaccessible. Due to these circumstances, we have been notified, by the USPS that Standard A and Periodicals mail delivery to a specified list of zip codes must be suspended indefinitely. We are asking all of our customers to comply with this request by the USPS, by deleting names from their mailing lists, which are destined for these areas. We will not be able to store these copies until this suspension is lifted. It will be up to you to revise your lists by deleting these zip codes. Those mailing lists, which we already have in house, will be revised to delete the zip code listings for the closed post offices. Any zip codes beginning with the listed 3 digits below are to be deleted from your lists indefinitely. USPS will notify us when the suspension has been lifted. For more detailed information from USPS, and the most current updates, you can visit their website at: http://www.usps.com/communications/news/serviceupdates.htm
