A wolf trapper education course will be offered in Salmon on Friday, September 5 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.
- The course fee is $9.75. Registration can be completed online or by visiting any regional Fish and Game office. You can register for the class at https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/232738
