Michigan trapper education
course now offered online
A trapper education course is now being offered in
classroom settings and online for Michigart residents
who are interested in trapping furbearing animals. The
course is not a requirement in Michigan, but the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources and the conservation com-
munity strongly encourage new trappers to take advan-
tage of the knowledge and skills taught in the course.
The purpose of the trapper education program is to
help individuals throughout the U.S. acquire the knowl-
edge, skill, attitude and judgment to selectively and re-
sponsibly trap furbearing animals.
To find a nearby traditional classroom course, go to
www.michigan.gov/recreationalsafety for a searchable
database of class offerings. There maybe fees associated
with the traditional classroom course. The online course
is free and can be found at www.trappered.com (click on
U.S. Trapper Education Course). Students taking the
course online are strongly encouraged to pre-register
with a classroom instructor to fulfill the skill/field test
portion of the course, and to take the Michigan student
examination. There may be fees associated with the
skills/field day.
"Some states and provinces require a field day in addi-
tion to the online program
to have avalid trapper edu-
cation certificate, and this
program is designed to
meetthoserequirements,"
said Sgt. Tom Wanless,
program supervisor for the
DNR's hunter education
program.
For more information on
trapping and fur harvest-
ing, visit the DNR website
