SOUTH DAKOTA TRAPPERS ASSC.INC
YOUTH TRAPPING SCHOOL
SEPTEMBER 12, 2009
FLANDREAU CITY PARK, FLANDREAU, SD

A youth trapping school seminar will be taught by certified members of the South Dakota Tappers Assc. Inc. The course is open to all youth ages 9-18. We would recommend that any youth with special needs be accompanied by an adult.

The youth trapping school is designed to help kids get a good start learning the basics of furbearer trapping, and to have a successful trapping experience. The one day seminar will allow all kids the opportunity to learn basic trapping techniques through hands on learning. The course will include the following topics: our trapping heritage, furbearer identification and sign, furbearer habits, traps, snares, trapping equipment, trapping set locations, water and land trapping methods, and trapping safety. Kids will learn practical methods for trapping weasel, mink, muskrat, raccoon, beaver, fox, coyote and badger.

Registration begins at 9:00 am Saturday September 12, 2009. The course will go from 9:30-11:00 am, and 1:00-4:00 pm. Snacks and dinner will be available in the Japanese Gardens building. All youth should dress appropriately for outdoor activities.

Each participant who successfully completes the seminar will be given a certificate, a new trap, bottle of trapping lure or bait, a National Trappers Assc. Trapping Handbook, trapping information brochures, one issue of the Trapper & Predator Caller magazine and one issue of the Fur-Fish-Game magazine.

All kids attending the rendezvous will have the opportunity to win one or more of the Kids Trapping Supply Grub-Stake Raffles late Saturday afternoon. Raffle tickets sell for $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. The money generated from the raffles is used to fund trapper education projects in South Dakota.
