Expand It's a convention type weekend organised by Don Powell. He has a nice little forum called minktrapping.com. Some great lads on that site. Dedicated to mink trapping, but also plenty of discussion on other types of trapping, hunting, fishing etc. Don sent me a t shirt just out of the kindness of his heart.

I've been sent mink snares by a lad off that site, free of charge. Wouldn't even let me pay the shipping, and that can be steep as you well may know. Don is from PA, and those guy's are passionate about their mink trapping. Learnt a lot off that site, and Trapperman.com too. 1 Quote Link to post
myersbg 1,385 Posted March 18, 2024 Report Share Posted March 18, 2024 Last time i was over in Canada i went to a convention at North bay Ontario, well looked after by the folks over there, did a bit of stuff myself but legally to touch a trap you need a license , wanting to be legal i went to see about getting a ticket but you have to do a course even to hunt, they said i should have taken my UK hunting license with me and i would have been ok , they didn't beleive me when i said there was no such thing. 1 Quote Link to post

Expand Even to tag along for a day's trapping, would be a great experience. Would be nice to make a few sets, but even to see first hand, how it's done, would be memorable. 1 Quote Link to post
