Trapping Camp planned at Salamonie Reservoir
Salamonie Reservoir and the Indiana State Trappers Association (ISTA) have scheduled a free Trappers Education Course for Sept. 25-26 at the Upper Wabash Interpretive Center.
The program is for trappers of all ages, though youth trappers are encouraged to attend.
The program starts at 9 a.m. both days.
On Sept. 25, participants will receive education on trapping issues, ethics, and regulations. In the afternoon, participants will accompany trapping instructors on a trap line and set traps to be left overnight and checked the next day.
On Sept. 26, participants will accompany trapping instructors to check trap lines. ISTA instructors will demonstrate skinning and fleshing of furbearers.
Participants will not need a trapping license to attend the program. There are no fees or costs associated with the program, but participants must register in advance. Entrance fees will be waived for all participants. Free camping is available for course attendees at Lost Bridge West Youth Campground. Lunch will be provided both days.
Participants must attend both days to receive DNR trapper education certification. Participants are encouraged to bring hip waders or waterproof boots to wear on the trap line.
The registration deadline is Sept. 19.
