Took the course back in the early 90s in Kimberly.
IMHO I think it is a good course for all hunters to take regardless of your inclination to trap or not.

Agreed, and might just take it myself.
Reeves, what do you mean by wanting to know how they skin the beavers? I've heard of various methods on big game using tractors, forklifts and such, but not on a beaver. I've only every skinned mine out, semi-fleshed until nailed out and then did my final prep work from there. I'm interested to know if there is an easier way.
Stupid story, but.....
Once had a beaver so big that I had to put extensions on my 4x4 board (if I ever get a scanner I'll put up the pics). I bet I put 6 hours into that thing. I was so proud (14 years old at the time), then the fu%king dog ate half of it! That was a bad day for both of us, luckily he was quicker than I was..........
