TRAPPER'S COLLEGE

Course

Trapping is an important tool in managing wildlife
populations, in the gathering of biological data of
furbearers, as a component of animal damage control, and
for wildlife research. This unique opportunity is the
most advanced trapper training available. Biologists,
conservation officers, fur trappers, hobby trappers, and
