Emphasis is on building a strong foundation in the ‘art of survival trapping’ lecture and field study.
Snares
Snares are traps that use a slip-knot, or noose made from plant fiber or wire, that when tripped tightens around the animal’s neck and chokes it quickly.
Deadfalls
Deadfalls are traps that use a heavy weight like rocks or logs to crush the animal.
You will be learning how to make and set primitive traps for survival purposes only we do not trap animals on this course.
Animal Tracking
Learning to track is important to your success at trapping through understanding animal sign. With that said I urge you to take both the Intro and Advanced Animal Tracking courses before taking the Trapping – Oregon course.
Intro and Advanced Animal Tracking
The Hunt
Traps can kill indiscriminately. We have a responsibility to domestic animals and wildlife. When practicing with traps, do not leave set traps unattended. It’s your responsibility to understand and follow all local, state, and federal game trapping laws.
