Has anyone ever attended Fur Takers of America trapping college?
I’m 50 years old I’m in my second year of trapping. I love it!! Wish I had some one to get me Involved as a youg .-un. I don’t have the many years of learning like lotsa guys who started as kids. I also don’t have 20 years more to go. I’m a disabled Vet who’s disability will continue to get wore. Maybe 10 good trapping years. Has anyone gone to this? Was the information worth the 6 dYs? And how much time was spent on fur handling? It’s $1500 for 6 days looks like 4 hours of class room and 8 hours outside hands on each day, apears to include room & board.

Go, you will not regret it. When I went in the 80s, I had been trapping for over 35 years and it was worth every penny. You will get a mix of all aspects of trapping. By all means ,do it.

You'll make friends for life there and you'll learn something. The experience in and of itself is worth the price of the school whatever it costs now.

I went with a buddy which made it even more fun.

One of the best things I have ever did was attending the FTA college 30 years ago. I will always recommend any one to go if they can. RIP Charlie Park
