I spoke to the MF&G department to see if I could take an on line Trapper's Education Class from another state as suggested by a member above.
The lady I spoke to was very blunt, clear and to the point. She said "If you do not take the Maine State Trapping Course, no license. No other state class' will be excepted No exceptions".
The only other option would be the apprentice license which I will apply for.

Was trying to get my crossbow course done earlier this year but due to the virus all classes were canceled. I had already taken the archery course that for some reason you have to have also to hunt with a crossbow.Was told I could get a apprenticeship crossbow hunting license and hunt with another hunter with a crossbow license. I'm 59 years old.

In 2009 I got a PA trapping license no class required because I held a PA license previously. In 2010 I bought a Maine Trapping License no class required because i held a trapping license previously. So get a license in another state and use that to get your Maine License. You better hurry as coyote trapping season ends in three weeks + 1 day. Maine's rule is: "When applying for any Maine trapping license (except a junior license), proof of having successfully completed a state-approved trapper education course is required or proof of having held an adult trapping license (in Maine or in some other state, province or country) at some time since 1978 "

So she was incorrect? I can take an out of state course??
