Congratulations to Gary Mather (Beav) - 09/12/20 03:48 PM
Just received my Wisconsin Trapper,and seen that Gary "the Beav" Mather was inducted into the WTA Hall of Fame. Pam Mather wrote a very good article about Gary's trapping adventures starting at age 13 all the way up to the present time. Not only is Gary a good trapper, but he has done his part and more to support the Wisconsin Trapper's Association over the years. Certainly a good representative for trappers to the DNR and the general public.
Congratulations to Gary, it was great to see that he got this well deserved honor.
