Wolf trapper education course offered in Salmon Nov. 2

An instructor-led wolf trapper education course will be offered in Salmon on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Idaho Fish and Game office located at 99 Highway 93 North.  

Wolf trapper education courses are usually offered just a few times a year locally - so if you need to complete the course, sign up now. 

In this interactive training, students will learn about wolf management, wolf trapping regulations and ethics, wolf habits and behavior, avoiding non-target captures, proper techniques, pelt care, and reporting requirements.

Here’s what you need to know if you wish to take a course: 

• Anyone intending to trap wolves in Idaho must attend wolf trapper education prior to purchasing wolf trapping tags. 
• Anyone intending to trap wolves that did NOT hold an Idaho trapping license prior to 2011 is required to take both trapper and wolf-trapper education courses.  So, if that applies to you, check for upcoming trapper education classes as well.
• Students must pre-register online.   The cost is $9.75.
