Hi my name is Pero Gurovich.
I currently live in South Africa, I'm 17 and looking to become a Trapper.
I'm looking for someone to take me in and teach me the skills i will need, I am not looking for any payment but a bed and a plate of food will be needed.
I will do hard labor work in exchange for said bed food and knowledge. Im looking to move to Alaska once i get citizenship

If you are willing to help me achieve my goal please send me an email.

good luck are there any trappers in south Africa

Welcome,much can be learned right here.good luck

Jackals in the zoo here look a lot like coyotes. Gemsbok imported from Africa to N.M. are called oryx here. I am confident you will need to create your own system for trapping what ever it is your after in S. Africa. Our tactics will only be a starting place for what will be effective there.

Welcome. Pull up a chair and your favorite drink.

I am not sure what the program is called but several S. African families I knew worked up in North Dakota for some decent sized farmers. If you are a hard worker with a good work ethic, I'd say there would be quite a few farmers willing to provide you a good job, bed, plate, housing, vehicle etc. You likely would have a little time you could trap in your spare time. H-2A program.

Welcome to the forum! There's tons of knowledge to be gained here. Take your time and read through the Archives.

Are you wanting to trap in South Africa or come to the US/Canada? If you're staying in SA, maybe you can help us help you by letting us know what kind of animals you have over there you'll be targeting.

What age are you?

Doh-must have missed that.

Welcome pero!! This is a great place to learn.

no, there are very few quality fur bearers and those that are good fur bearers are illegal to trap with quickkill traps, plus ive never hard of a place to sell your fur in my area, added on you must own all the land you trap on.

Welcome to trapperman. The program or something similar to what TreedaBlackDog mentioned might be your best bet. Find work on a farm or something similar here and then trap in your free time. That might mean running your lines in the evenings after you get done working. Finding an experienced mentor to help you learn to trap would be good, as you mentioned. It's a steep learning curve, otherwise. A learning curve I'm still on.

yeah, but you see Im looking to move to Alaska sometime down the road.

thanks for the video, its definitely given me some ideas

If you want to immigrate you might want to start applying now

any specific reason?

It is a lengthy process.

Talk to Scuba1 on here . He can give you some ideas on the whole visa thing.
