Trapper Education Class

Event Description

Our trapper education programs are designed for every age and ability and are run by some of Ohio’s best and most knowledgeable trappers. They’ll help you understand where and when it’s legal to go for the game you want.

Instructor-led courses last about 8 hours and take place in a classroom environment. Certified volunteers and Division of Wildlife staff teach the courses. They are specially trained and highly qualified to help you learn.
