I am a licensed Real Estate Agent. Many of my interests include the outdoors.... I like camping, fishing and boating in Bumpus Mills, TN at Lake Barkley. I am a supporter and committee member of Boy Scouts of America Troop 459. I am also the Secretary, Treasurer and Membership Secretary of a state trapping association called the Tennessee Free Trappers Association (TFTA)

My husband, Chris Jacobsen is the State Organizer for the TFTA.
The Trapper Predator Caller Magazine inadvertantly listed www.ClickItFindIt.com for the website info. This web address was in the signature portion of my email.

Therefore I am creating a link from my real estate website with the details of the upcoming events.

For those of you who are new to this and want to learn more, please visit the TFTA Website at www.TennesseeFreeTrappers.com
