New Youth Trapper Camp

Print

Trapping has one of the longest histories of any outdoor activity in Montana. Young trappers will have an opportunity June 23, 24 and 25 to learn about that history, as well as about trapping techniques, furbearer identification, outdoor ethics, fur handling and other important social and biological issues related to trapping. The camp is sponsored by the Montana Trappers Association, in partnership with the 4-H Program and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.

The trapping camp will held in the Bear Paw Mountains, south of Havre. The training is primarily geared to young trappers, but adults are welcome.
