My son age 13 is wanting to start trapping. we have plenty of property to trap (a couple hundred acres) but I trapped a little when I was young but need to have someone show us how to be successful. we live in Southeastern Indiana but would be willing to travel a couple of hours if someone was willing to teach us how to trap. We have coons, foxes, coyotes and some muskrats and beaver. any help woud be appreciated

They have several meets each year with all kinds of trapping info and demo's with several people that will help you guys out.

I would also check in to a trapping education class. They have a few each year scattered around the state. Good luck!

he's caught a couple of coons. Getting ready for his Christmas Break. Anyone willing to show us hands on during the break just let us know. We can travel a couple of hours if needed
