trapping courses

[big wood]

is there another trapping course offered this year in the hunting off season

I think you can do it online now as well.

As far as i know you can still challenge the course. Just have to make an appt with your regional office to take the test. That's what i did last year since i missed fhe rondezvous.

Nope, WSTA is the only way to take the course. WDFW washed their hands of it.
Let me know of your location and I will put you in touch with the  nearest instructor.

You cannot do it on-line.

Thats what i thought i had heard @ the ronde this year, but their link is still up and functional. Figures, i guess...thanks for the clarification.

All WDFW does now is give you the number of George Brady and they are not real reliable about doing that.

Working on a Trapper Training page for watrappers .com Hope to get WDFW to link to it.

I had a trapping license back in 87, am I still required to take the test to get a license?

[JJB11B]

I would like to get into trapping. We have alot of good spots for trapping but I have no Idea on how to get into it at all. If anybody has any solid info on getting licensed could you PM it to me?

[Humptulips]

Interested in getting a trapping license. You have to pass Trapper Training first. Go to http://watrappers.com/ All the information is on the home page on how to get your license.

Thanks Bruce, I might have asked you this before when we talked via the trapperman forums a couple years back, but I cant remember for sure(Ive got sometimers, sometimes ), do you remember Ed Meridith who sold supplies and bought fur in tumwater back around the late 70s and 80s? Fond memories there...

At any rate, I just wanna do some hobby muskrat and mink hobby trapping via the colony trap route after Jan 1, 5 or 50 I dont care, I just wanna get back out on the water, I wont quit my day job though....

Thanks again and I will stay in touch, expect a payment for membership by the 1st of the year.

I met Ed but I can't say I knew him well. Stopped at his house and talked to him  for a while in the 80s sometime.

Keep that outlaw mole trapper business under your hat. There is a guy just got convicted and is awaiting sentencing. Thinking it could be $1000 per infraction.

Thanks again and I will stay in touch, expect a payment for membership by the 1st of the year.
