Here is an upcoming event. We will have at least one of all the common Wisconsin furbearers to demo. My intentions with this event is to give new trappers an opportunity to learn fur handling techniques from some of us with more experience. Who knows, maybe some of us that think we know it all will learn a thing or 2.

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA, JSELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

That's really cool! I have a couple new trappers that may be interested.

We have coon, coyote, beaver, otter, mink and muskrat by Walt. Jimmy is going to do a bobcat, hopefully we can come up with a fisher. I have enough room we could get a couple stations going at a time. The address is Strum but the location is between Foster and Brackett. Sometimes that throws people off a bit.

I'd be interested in seeing how other people do it and I'm sure a few of the kids would too, I might try to make it want us to bring anything?

Why is it there is no skunk on the list. Asking for a friend haha

Walt, you can do the skunk out in the driveway.

Excellent idea! I'm impressed w/ what D5 does.

Well I was planning on going today but the back won't allow it today. Good luck JSell, hope you have a great turnout. I do know a couple new trappers who plan on being there though, one caught his first bunch of fur this season and one is just getting interested in trapping and plans on getting his certification this coming year.

We had an excellent turnout!! About 25 people attended and we ran out of parking. I think everyone took something away from the event and we are hoping to schedule it again for next year. We had a couple examples of all the common fur bearers available and showcased fur handling from start to finish on all. Some attendants even brought their own along to get help with. Watch the spring issue of the Wisconsin Trapper for pics and a short write up.

That is awesome

Thanks

sounds like a great thing , how did it turn out, any pic, ??
