Each year in MN we have a Winter Meeting of the Trappers Association.

I like to have a demo just for the youngsters. We have touched on Muskrat trapping, Muskrat skinning, and Weasels. I need an idea for this year !

Any suggestions ?

Fox and coyote trapping.

Beaver skinning --kid friendly?lol.Not many kids are into beaver put up,but skinning and the freezing of the pelt might be good.With thr removal of castors and oil sacs,also discussed?
Only problem with this--it isn't of interest to the younger ones.
Tom

Coons. They're easy to trap and handle, not to menchon interesting.

set competitions...dirthole.

I think Muskrats is the best animal to start trapping.... you don't want to do another 'rat demo?

Luke

Luke, that would be fine by me.But how about the kids? Is that fine by them?
Tom

Muskrats are good, but you shoul also do mink.

2poor... I could do my soon to become famous Skunk demo... LOL!

I would like to see just about any demo, even if it's something I've already seen. I learn new stuff every time I watch something or read something again, and so to me, everything and anything is fine.

I would like to see a 'rat demo...

Luke

Tom

Let me know if you need any rats or beaver for the demo?



Andy

Weasels and Rats seem to be the biggest interest for the kids. Seems like we touch on them pretty hard. Maybe we should do another rat demo again as we covered Weasels pretty well in the last several years.

Skunkwrestler does have a new trapping technique that will raise a stir in the near future. I think we will save that for the future though!

I'm not from there but the first animal I ever got was a coon, plus They are still my fav animal to catch to this day. Quick and easy

coyotes

I think coyotes are to hard for young kids...


Also, if you need some 'rats to skin out there I will happily donate some... let me know becouse I have five waiting to be skinned that I could throw in the freezer!

Luke

Maybe Luke and Andy should do a rat trapping demo for the kids !

mink trapping they are fun and easy to trap.

I would if I was good at trappin' rats!

Luke

mink mink sking coon

Coyotes are pretty easy to trap so I would say beaver.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All you gotta do is throw a snare on a trail their useing.

ok lets see a picture of one you cought in a snair kjr i bet you havnt got any lol and that would be what you do for beaver or most any animal lol !!!! you might want to think things over before you post

Somebody want to re-do this post because I can't read his typing, all I understood was post a picture of a catch in a snare.

Silver if you need helf with coyotes I would be glad to help because they are an easy animal to trap IMO but for me their not a target animal because every coyote in my area has mange.

lol there you go i fixed it to make it so you can understand lol and maybe somene on here will teach you how to read my little brother did something to my computer and messed it all up he is pretty clueless

Easy, killers!

Tuning traps.

Thats a good idea.
