DP Traps and Workshop

[bigdave]

Redcloud you asked if the DP's we made were for us or personal use. I figured I would make this post to go along with the other one on DP's. We made them for our personal use. I have traded a few away and gave away a few more. (half Ton on here has 1) I volunteer at the OSTA sponsored Advanced Trappers Workshops at Mercer Wildlife area. Each year the kids I take out with me get a trap the last day after we are done. Something special to remember the class each time they catch something in it.

Here are pics from the 2011 class

Cody & Chip (his dad) 3rd coon was taken with the new Duke 5X5's and the boxes you see

Now that looks like some fun that even the big kids could enjoy. Cool idea of giving the kids a trap to use and remember the things they have been taught.

When I first started hunting trapping was something I wanted to learn but with few people here doing it and nobody willing to teach a guy I never did it. The last couple years have been my self taught attempts and have been pretty fun to learn as I go. Wish we would have had more people like yourself back then to tech the kids. Keep up the good work and keep getting those kids out there and enjoying the outdoors.

I think trapping is a skill a lot of us would like to know more about.

Good deal getting those kids out there.:smiley_clap:
