IT'S TIME TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY

Ever wondered what happens after the trap? This is your chance to find out.

As part of the Trapping 101 Series, brought to you by MDC, the Missouri Trappers Association, and local trapping experts, participants will get a hands-on introduction to green skinning furbearers and learn how to prep furs for preservation to use or to sell. No experience necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to try something new.

Bring your curiosity, sense of adventure, muck boots…and an apron or change of clothes. All other materials will be provided.

Minors must be accompanied by a registered adult.
