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 ?

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.

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

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.

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 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!

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