Especially for new trappers I think you will be best served in buying traps by coming to the Summer Rendezvous. Even if you decide not to buy from one of the dealers there you get a chance to see the products and talk with people about what works. We usually have from 3 to 5 guys selling new and used equipment.
We try and have some fur prep demos at our get togethers but you will likely not get any on tanning. Most demos are geared towards selling raw furs.

Got my trappers certificate today :tup:. I'm starting to get info on a nuisance license but anything youguys want to share that might help would be much appreciated.
Ya, I will. :rolleyes:
Not to bust your bubble but before you think about going into business doing nuisance control work you should know something about wildlife and differently nuisance wildlife.
Why is it when I hear that somebody goes out and get their trapping license the next thing they want is a nuisance license? :yeah: :bdid:
I've been in the business of trapping for 40 years and nuisance business business for 30+ of those years. Take two or three years and learn first before jumping into that line of work. You have no ideal what your going to deal with and its not all about trapping. Trapping should be the last resort to removing a nuisance animal.

Just know I may not even buy my license this year if I can't gather together everything Ineed. Id like to be organized and productive once I start trapping during the season so I'm going to learn the ropes in my back yard first. My post about nuisance is a lot of looking forward to be as prepared as possible in case I have what it takes to trap well. Hope to make the rendezvous an see you there. I'll be the wet behind his ears guy asking lots of questions. :hello:
