Yukon Trappers Association registered as a society with the YTG in October 1972, 40 years ago in 2012. The Association was instigated by Yukon trappers George Darbyshire, Larry Barrett, Ted Geddes, et al, because trappers were not receiving a fair price for their furs. Historically, individuals travelled to each trapper and purchased dried pelts for less than half the auction value. The answer, it has been proven, was for Yukon trappers to form an Association to provide a fur depot to send the furs to auction. Since then, the Association has sent furs to every auction house in Canada, including North American Fur Auctions as well as Fur Harvesters Auction. The economics of the fur industry has gone through plenty of boom and bust phenomenon, taking the YTA along. In 2009, the Association was rescued from the brink of bankruptcy and today's dedicated Board of Directors volunteer countless hours to keep it going.
