I am fortunate to be from a great outdoor state like Missouri. As I write this i am sitting at my brothers house enjoying the view of some whitetail in the back yard. It will be sad to fly back tonight. Here in Missouri the Missouri Department of Conservation actually hosts trapping clinics. This is one of many programs they have here to endorse outdoor activities. The program is specifically designed for youth and beginning adults. I am sure that we (Washington residents) would never convince WDFW to endorse, sponsor or even assist in such a clinic. I have read many of the posts on the trapping forum and it is refreshing to see new people and kids getting involved in trapping.

Is it time for us as trappers to put on our own clinic? I know that it would be worth my time to help in facilitating such a program.

We come from the same great outdoorsman's state.    MDC has a different relationship with hunters there.  A much much better working relationship.

   Me too.   I was born and Fort Wood and got my first taste of trapping back there. One brother lives just North of there still.  Love visiting back there.  Too hot/ humid and too many creepy crawlies for the boss though.

Yes, praise the Lord! We got a ton of good advice from other trappers and ran with it. IMHO, trappers are the most friendly and helpful of all outdoorsmen. (women)
