Our Fifth-Annual FTA Chapter 20 Trapping School will be held once again at the Dubbert Auction Center in Fortuna MO, December 21-23 2018.
Dubbert Auction Center
72320 Weber St
Fortuna, MO 65034
Fortuna is North of Versailles on Hwy. 5.
We do our best to show students the most comprehensive material we can in the three days. All types of sets for all types of furbearers are covered- a live line is run, and students will be able once again to make their own attempts at catchin' critters.
Other instruction will include-
LOTS of fur handling, skinning, put-up, grading, etc.
Trap Modification
Cable Restraints (including a Certified CR class)
Animal behavior and habits
Location, location, location(s)
And of course, more.
We have sleeping accommodations (bring a cot), and meals are included, we will gladly accept donations.
Our goal with this school is to provide the student with an intense, fact-filled weekend full of good, solid trapping advice. We have a good time, too.
Traps will be set on several hundred acres of mostly farm/crop land. Last years' event saw several species caught, and this property boasts opportunities at coyote, bobcat, red fox, beaver, otter, mink, and of course 'coon, 'possom and skunks.
Classes will be tailored to student's needs after the basic sessions are over. Students will be invited to set traps themselves provide they have a current trapping licenses.
