Great group of guys. Makes me proud to be a member of NJ Trappers Association.

Looks like a fun training. Will have to try to fit that in some year in case I manage to get a decent property in future or find extra time. Had fun live trapping and releasing as a kid.

Saw a guy setting muskrat traps while mid day duck hunting last year. I was surprised how fast he placed his sets. I guess the real time needed is prepping those furs. 

 

It's a great learning experience

Looks like there will be one of these classes in a few weeks down here in the south: https://www.nj.wildlifelicense.com/ALS/course/course_report.php

I'd like to go just to learn about it, and just in case I want to try to trap this pack of yotes at my buddy's place.

However, if I'm asked to take a live skunk out of a cage trap, I'm out

Thanks to all the volunteer instructors who selflessly give up their time. Congrats to all the new trappers.

Did the guy with his feet up on the table learn anything?

mazzgolf,

Go for it. I went a few years ago, and I had a great time.

The place was located at Estell Manor - Lenape Farms 2 Day course.

Very nice group of people, both teaching and attending the class.

FYI, I believe you will need some kind of tick spray if I remember correctly.

You won't regret attending the Class.
