Trapping question

[Chef]

This is a long shot but does anyone on the forum teach trapper education. I want to try my hand at trapping this year and can’t find a course. Looking for some help

I think the Dec offers classes and a certification to trap I believe.

My guess is grampy will get certified just to teach you!

Sadly there’s even fewer trapping certification classes given than hunting.  Our local newspaper lists them but typically theryre generally in the summer. 

Took mine when I was 12 I think

If you find a class with openings jump on it they book fast

I think there is only one class in the state right now and it’s full

I had been wanting to get my trapper certification for a long time, more for something new to learn than intending to start, for lack of time. 

Trapper courses are very difficult to find. Go to the NYS DEC website, and they have a listing of hunter safety / trapper safety, etc. classes. First one you find, call. We drove three hours to get ours. They are few, far between and fill up very quickly, but well worth the time.

I remember when I did mine years ago it was hard to find one. Good luck getting into one.

When you get your class done start with beaver they are the best eating wild game animal out there
