nm trappers test - 04/05/20 03:25 PM
For those who plan on trapping in NM from now on, below is the link to the NM trappers ed course that is mandatory for everyone who wants to trap in NM. Warning: it is about 2 hours long and about 20 section tests. Now is a good time to complete the test with all of the shutdowns. The course and tests are free.
Also per G&F website http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/hunting/information-by-animal/furbearers/ [b]"NMDGF offers 3 different furbearer education courses: the comprehensive furbearer trapping and hunting New Mexico Trapper Education Course, the New Mexico-specific New Mexico Furbearer Law and Species Identification Course, and the furbearer hunting-specific New Mexico Furbearer Hunting Course. How do you know which course you are required to take?
[b]If you plan on trapping and have never taken a trapper education course, you are required to take only the New Mexico Trapper Education Course.
If you plan on trapping and have already completed a trapper education course offered through a different venue, you are required to take only the New Mexico Furbearer Law and Species ID Course.
If you plan on only hunting furbearers (you will not be setting traps or snares), you are required to complete any one of the 3 furbearer education courses
Completion of a trapper education program provided by a state wildlife agency outside of New Mexico will partially satisfy the education requirements needed to set a trap or snare in New Mexico. Completion of a trapper education course through another entity, such as AFWA’s “North American Basic Trapper Course” or the Fur Takers of America’s “Trapper College”, may also partially satisfy the education requirements; contact the NMDGF Trapper Education Program at 505-476-8038 to confirm.
Anyone who has completed a trapper education course in another state will need to:
Provide proof of completion of the course either in person or by email. When purchasing their New Mexico Trapper License, they will need to enter their Trapper Education number from their certificate provided by that state.
Complete the New Mexico Furbearer Laws and Species Identification course (click here). A required quiz on these course materials can be found using the NMDGF Online Licensing website."
