The NEW - NCTA Trappers College
The NCTA is offering additional trapping education through a trappers college workshop that will last for three days, a Friday through Sunday. This trapping training workshop is primarily field oriented and most of the time is spent in the field setting traps, learning about traps and equipment, learning about habitat, animal habits, and considerations that will help to improve your catches. Additionally, there will be time spent addressing trap modification, fur handling, and animal damage control. Special educational use permits from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission will allow attendees to set traps outside of the regular trapping season. This will give individuals the opportunity to further their knowledge by running an actual live trapline with many of the professional knowledgeable trappers in the state.
Most animals caught will be released except for maybe a few males to show proper euthanasia/dispatch methods and for skinning/fleshing demonstrations. Students do not have to attend the basic trapping class in order to participate in the trappers college but it is recommended especially if you are new to trapping. The trappers college costs $400 per person or $350 for early registration which covers all the meals from dinner the night of arrival through lunch the afternoon of departure, all snacks and drinks, and lodging for both nights are included. See you, rain or shine!
Make history and plan to attend the first NCTA Trappers College April 8-10, 2016 at the Eastern 4-H Center near Columbia in Tyrrell County in the northeastern part of the state.
Registration is open. If we do not have at least 24 registered and paid by December 31, 2015 the workshop will be postponed into 2017. There will be no refunds for cancellations or no shows. Refunds will be given only if the workshop is cancelled or postponed.
Registration Fee = $400 or $350 if paid by December 1, 2015
Covers all meals, drinks, snacks and lodging.
To reserve your seat make checks payable to the North Carolina Trappers Association (NCTA) and mail to:
Todd Menke
