I've spent the last few nights pondering and reading these threads. I don't agree with letting the Ata or other association take hunters money and give it to guys targeting wolves. Personally I think it would make more sense for a trapper to list his plan on here and his list of needs prior to the season. This would include supplies needed etc. If a list and prices were put together then people could decide if they are willing to send a donation to the trapper of their choosing, and pick what they are willing to donate their funds towards.
As has been mentioned the costs certainly add up, and there are only a few guys that are committed enough to go at it hard and make a difference.
