Lorna Smith teaching the class?

There is a trapper who lives in Winthrop, but not sure he would participate.

Do you have to get the beaver's consent first?

This goes along with with Rowland attempt to end beaver trapping in this state. Something like 90% of beaver translocated by the WDFW were killed by cougars.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I too am suspicious of the Methow Beaver Project but how is this certification not a good thing for WCOs ?  West-side WCOs already have some customers who would pay extra for beaver to be relocated.

  You are probably right about them but, again, how is getting certified to transport and relocate beaver a bad thing ?

I would encourage trappers to relocate beavers to streams inside the city limits of liberal city’s and developments near Seattle. When they start using the poles holding up their internet connections to make a dam we can all step in and remind them not to interfere with wild animals in their habitat  :chuckle:
