LA RUSSELL, Mo. – What’s better than learning from a YouTube video? Learning in a one-on-one setting.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) along with the Missouri Trapper’s Association will host Mentored Trapping over two days in October. The first day will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3, and from 6 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Oct. 4, at Robert E. Talbot Conservation Area, 7031 State Highway 96 in La Russell.
Registration is required at mdc-event-web.s3licensing.com/Event/EventDetails/220737
Students will work closely with experts from the trapping field while gaining fundamental knowledge of trapping through a hands-on approach. They will learn skills such as trap setting, skinning, and complete fur handling.
This is an in-the-field experience where students of all ages are guided by expert trappers in both land and water sets.
