Hi Guy & Gals :hello:
Ed Cunningham and I are thinking about putting on a Trapper Training Class this coming spring, maybe around April or May.
But before we do, we would like to see if there is any interest.
I know some of you WCO's need a class before you get your WCO permit and some of you parents have young ones that want to take up what your doing.
We're thinking that we need to have around ten + or - people to make it worth getting the place to hold it, (Cabela's in Marysville) set the time and date, order the books, etc., etc.
Any interest?
JC :hello: ~ Trapper Training Instructor, one of many hats that I have with WSTA
-
I would potentially be interested.
-
I have a friend that wants to take it. :tup:
-
I'd be interested
-
I'm interested.

I'm interested. Is this the only one for the year or are you going to be doing one on the east side of the state as well? Thanks

This would be the "First" for the season. WSTA Summer Rendezvous is usually the "First" kick off of trapper training for the season. We were thinking if there is any interest and it sounds like there might be some interest here :chuckle: so I will be talking with Ed and we will see what we can do.
If there are any more of you that are interested keep um coming here so we know.

Yes, we can do one on the eastside. We ALWAYS have one in Cashmere at the Annual rendezvous. We can do others if we have enough people.

I just talked with Bernie Nelson (Eastside Trapper Training Instructor) and he said that he is putting one on March 11th.
I think he said that he is going to hold it in Idaho. Check with him maybe he is putting it on in Coeur d” Alene, I didn't ask where he use holding it.
For the rest of you that are interested, it looks like we will be holding ours (Ed's and mine) in April.
Stay tune we will give you the date later.

Is it likely to be early or late April?

:dunno: :dunno: We're working on setting it up, :dunno: place, time so I'll let you know as soon as I can

Hi Guys
I talked with Cabela's today, it looks like it might be third or forth Saturday or Sunday weekends of April.
Ed and I are going to talk and see if we can find a different place for maybe the end of March. "OR"
Would the end of April be okay with you guys?
I need all of you that are interested in attending a class to drop me a PM with your name, address and phone number so I can contact you with the date and place.
JC :hello:

April is good for me

I would like to get my trapper cert, but Marysville is a bit to far for me to travel and April is booked solid for me. Do you know if there are any classes planed for say the Olympia area?
Thanks
John

I took the trapping class probably 40 yrs ago. I'm guessing that a call to the WDFG and can get a copy of my card. I have not seen it in many yrs. but will need one if I move on with my plan to start trapping. Grew up trapping with my dad, and as I get older find myself thinking about catching critters like my dad did but with cage traps. Catching a cat with a cage sounds like a hoot to me. Not sure if this will happen, as I don't seem to have time for all the things I like to do now.

There will be a class in the Olympia area but it will likely be late in the year.

If you have ever taken the class or had a WA trappers license your name should be in the system. You do not need the card. When you buy the license the system will approve you based on WDFW records.

Of all things I do and some on here know I don't stop! Trapping cats and pine marten are my favorite !! I do believe that once you catch either one of the two you're hooked plain and simple! It definitely is not the same as laying a trap line out of true steel but what's cool with the cages is if the cat or marten is not nice furred or young or a female ( I release all females ) you can open the door and they are no worse for the wear

UPDATE :IBCOOL:
Okay guys I think we have a tentative date for the 22nd of April ~ "Westside"
Also for you East Siders, Contact Berrie Nelson he is also going to be having a class on the 22nd too.
So all that are interested Fur Trappers and WCO's put that date on your calendar.

Next trapper training class most likely won't be until August 12th at our Annual WSTA Trappers Rendezvous in Cashmere.
Than either October or November and the last one in December.
If you can't make this spring class see you in Cashmere on the 12th.

JC :hello:

I want to say it was mine and Ed's pleasure meeting you guys and gals yesterday. :hello: :hello:
Class went very well. I had 26 people signed up and 22 showed up with 20 taking the class / test.
All past so we have another 20 fur trappers out in the field this coming season. :tup: :IBCOOL:
Ed told me first thing in the morning that there was an accident out on I-5 that shut down both sides of I-5 north and south bond up in North Seattle area.
They hit some power lines and the lines went across both lanes. The nightly news said that they won't have the lines up and power back on until today (Sunday) sometime.
Ed and I thought that the class might be small because of the accident but it turned out great.
When the class was over (3 1/2 hours later) the south bond lane of I-5 up in Marysville was at an almost stop, some 20+ miles away.
Anyway Ed and I are glad you folks made it and it was our pleasure teaching you and handing you your trapping certificate. Congratulation
I hope some of you come and join WSTA and we will see you at this summers Rendezvous.

Attended the class on the east side. :tup:
Bernie was very informative and a great wealth of information. Would recommend it to folks even if they choose not to trap.

Thanks again to John and Ed for putting on the class. :tup:
