Smile Passed the test

Hello all,

Wrote my trappers exam today and passed. Grew up in the bush and my uncles trapped so I went into the exam on faith that what I learned years ago was enough to get a pass. I guess my memory ain't so bad. Passed with flying colors. I'm signing on as a junior on a line south of Anzac . I'm sure I will post here later as I get out and about. Will be looking for a few snares and traps to contribute to the line , so if anyone's down sizing or upgrading I'm interested in buying.
Will be looking to do a fur handling course soon too

Thank you

Congratulations!

I can't help you out with traps or snares, but if you're down this way, you're welcomed to trace my stretchers.

Thumbs up Thanks guys

Thanks for the welcome. Have the line map and will be exploring and taking notes as I walk the woods looking for deer this November. Get a handle on what animals are where and how many of each. The senior has a few traps for me but I migh hit up halfords or make a trip to westlock for some supplies. I want to contribute more to the line than young blood and the inability to give up when you should.
