By: Mark Palas, Minnesota Trappers Association
The Help A Beginner Program, seeks to encourage the expansion of our sport, by donating a half dozen traps to all youth between the ages of 11 & 16. Young trappers must go through a trapper certification program, and join the MTA.
Of note: by default youth must be 11 years of age to participate in a trapper education program, and the same age to qualify for traps.
Instructors: Shipping is expensive, so whenever possible try and coordinate trap pickups at the summer or winter convention, or from district directors, to help save the association undue shipping costs. A little planning goes a long ways toward saving resources.
