I'm excited to give it a shot! The test/certification is free, the license is obviously not and needs to be acquired every year.

So I will admit a few things changed about types of traps ECT.I took the test about 2 this afternoon and still waiting for email ,then rushed through the test again an hour later when I got no email .
Took a screen shot of test results cause I was worried they didn't get it .Got the same score both times cause the second time I just went through and picked all the same answers as the first time so I could check and make sure I put my email in correct.

There were some questions that weren't directly covered in the manual. Somehow I got them all! 100% here! I did NOT think that was going to happen.
I'm really excited about trying this now. COVID training for the win!

I'm wondering if other states will honor this trapping course?

I'm glad to see these online courses, we should be able to recruit more hunters and trappers into the outdoors! :tup:
I'm wondering if other states will honor this trapping course?
I don't believe any State accepts a trapper certification from another State. Not hard to understand when the laws from State to State vary so much.
I will just add that it is very nice having the convenience of the on-line course but about all new trappers would benefit from attending the class. We spend about half the class on how to trap and handle fur, something you don't get on-line.
Join us at our Summer Rendezvous and you will take the next step in trapper education.
You're welcome at one of our classes too whether you need the the certificate or not.

Hey all, just wanted to share that the Trapper Education test is now online, so you don't have to sign up to take the exam in person. If you've ever been interested in trapping, but have decided not to due to the testing requirement, this might be a good time for you to get it done. The trapper education booklet is about an hour read and the test is only 45 questions. It should be pretty easy to pass if you read the pamphlet first.Thank you so much!!!

Now, to make some bobbie pillows!
On a more serious note, I'm mostly interested in furs for myself. Does anyone have any great/easy-ish tans?

OK thanks for the info. I still have my last WA license from when we could use all types of traps, not sure if that allows me to buy a WA license again or not, but I'm more interested in trapping wolves in Idaho anyway. That requires the wolf class and I think a regular trapping class too? I'll double check with IDFG if I have time to follow through with doing it. My son has been dabbling, he caught his first wolf this winter, I would sure like to help eliminate a few more.

Its amazing how much that little "schedule a proctored exam at a WDFW location" kept people out of this. I hope you're all as excited to get into this as I am!I dont think there is such thing as an easy tan. After all the work of catching one, skinning it and putting it up, you should probably send it to somewhere like Moyles. There would probably be a good amount of trial and error doing it yourself and if its “easy” than it probably isnt going to be a very good tan.

If you have ever had a trapping license or passed the trapping class in WA you are good to go. No proof need be presented, WDFW archives those records.
I believe the same applies in ID. They haven't required a trapper education class for long so if you had a license before the class was required you are grandfathered in. Wolf trapping class is needed though if you wish to trap wolves.

i would highly recommend just sending to moyles. I tried the self tan last year just to see the whole process. Feel like I wasted two furs. Cool experience but for cost and quality, send it out. You’ll be much much happierIts amazing how much that little "schedule a proctored exam at a WDFW location" kept people out of this.

Yes if you want to trap in Idaho anything including wolves you need to take both classes. Here is the problem, as of right now there are NO CLASSES for either class and they are not sure if any will be put on this year becaise of the Virus stuff. Keep checking back on their website for any update.
