Post by: Machias on October 29, 2009, 09:16:22 PM: I'm not quite as excited as I usually get, I've been trapping off and on almost all year. Good luck everyone, sure wish we could bury some steel.

I am starting completely from scratch so I have been reading a lot and putting together some traps and tools. My plan was to try for some cats but all my cat areas are to far to check everyday. I have some areas close that have coons and maybe some other critters as well so I might give that a try. Need to get the license and some trap tags still. Cant wait to start seeing everyones pictures from this season. Good luck all.

Post by: Kain on October 29, 2009, 10:28:58 PM: super easy. Just take the class and pass the test. It was really easy but very informative. There is a new manual but you can read the one on WDFW and take the test without the class. I read the manual but didnt think it was very helpful.
