Might be a dumb question or been asked before, but how does someone get into trapping? And making your own traps?

First you need to attend the trapper's course WDFW puts on.  This I would suggest getting Trapping North American Furbearers by S. Stanley Hawbecker.  Lots of great advice.

I called Dan Boes? and he sent me an application for the home study guide but it has been weeks and I still have not received it.   :dunno:
