questions on the trapping class in Globe Feb 5th

[bowhuntaz1]

I know there will be a class. Just wondering if anyone knows the cost of the class ond the cost of admission to the trapping convetion going on.

I will be there but want to know ahead of time.

Thanks

I went last year but I don't recall the cost, I'd guess around $50 or so max, then the follow up step to mail in the certificate to AZ G&F and they'll mail the license.

 

But the significant cost is buying the cages, there were a couple good suppliers that most folks here buy their cages from. I think the range was ~$250-$300 for 3 real good cages. I found the breakouts taught by those cage dealers most useful for their strategy and tactics of trapping, rather than just the guidelines and legalities from the general conference session.

 

I have two pages of written notes and tips if you want a copy send me a PM.

I'm assuming you are talking about the class that will be held during the fur sale at the Gila County Fair Grounds. We have an AZGFD officer up here that is teaching the class for $10 so I wouldn't spend $50 (if that's what it happens to be). You've already had to buy a hunt/fish license at $54, then a trapping license for $30.....if you get 3-5 people together to take the course the AZGFD will teach it for the $10's. That has been my experience anyway.

 

Keep us posted. I'd guess that Bob Small with briarpatchcages.com will be in Globe. I haven't personally seen his cages but from all the research I've done they are top notch.
