The North Dakota Cooperative Fur Harvester Education Program is sponsoring fur harvester education classes in Bismarck, Jamestown and Dickinson for anyone interested in trapping or hunting furbearers.
The free 16-hour course in Bismarck and Jamestown is August 13 (5:30-9:30 p.m.), 15 (5:30-9:30 p.m.) and 17 (8 a.m.-5 p.m.). The course in Dickinson is September 7 and 14 from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Students will learn about traps, trapping and snaring techniques, furbearer biology and fur care. A field day allows students to make a variety of land, water and snare sets.
Upon completion, graduates are issued a certification card that is recognized by any state requiring trapper education prior to purchasing a license.
Anyone interested in signing up for the class should access the Game & Fish Department website at gf.nd.gov, click on the online services link and “online course enrollment” under the hunter education heading.
