Slick you keep talking freedoms,and that a required trappers ed class is a restriction of your freedom. Seems to me if you lose the right to trap altogether--that would be a real restriction of freedom.So what would you rather see?? a required ed class or no trapping at all. Tom

Well Steve, even with all that pandering Born Free only gives you a D plus Grade. Maybe that will save you? It is better than Wisconsin's D rating. Dirt, maybe you misunderstood the sarcasm in my post. We still enjoy those privileges in MN. Or maybe I misunderstood the sarcasm in yours lol.

I live on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and I took the New Mexico and the Wisconsin courses. They were different. Both good courses. They were fun, Thought provoking and informative. I was particularly interested in the differences in the rules between us and other states.

So how do I a resident of Indiana come to Montana and trap this fall? What do I need to do? Probably have come out twice then take the coarse then come out trap. Only coyotes and non furbearing This 2 will change I believe in the next 4years to allow nonresidents to trap imo seem to be desired by alot so guys can go to Idaho, wyoming.

"Footloose Montana also supported bills that increased trapping regulations: require trapper education for a general trapping license; and, create a mandatory daily trap check for all traps."
Strange bedfellows.

Ethics or lack of is what will kill us trapping in the long run. Therefore I believe these courses are very important. You have to do the right thing when no one is looking.

I can remember when we first brought up the subject of trappers Ed. Lots of the old timers were dead set against It. Their rational was we don't need any more trappers.

Well Slick Pan you are lucky that Footloose Montana and Trap Free Montana supported this pro trapping legislation designed to defeat them. This legislation probably had some opposition from trappers. Hopefully the NTA will send both of the above organization a thank you letter for supporting saving trapping in Montana. Don't forget to renew your membership in the NTA.
