The Idaho Department of Fish and Game will conduct a wolf trapper education course in Lewiston next month.
Anyone who intends to trap wolves must successfully complete a wolf trapper education course. These courses are in-person and cover trapping laws, ethical trapping, avoiding non-target catch, safety, and basic trapping methods. Courses are taught in a single, 6-hour day and cost $9.75 each.
The Lewiston event will be held on Saturday, January 24th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Fish and Game Regional Office, located at 3316 16th Street. Register here.
Trapper education (a separate course from wolf trapper education) is required for those who have not held an Idaho trapping license prior to July 2011. Trappers who show proof of having held a trapping license from Idaho prior to 2011 are exempt, but the wolf trapping course is still required.
