Figured i'd pass on a few photos from The Trappers Education Class held in Greensburg 10- 22-05 ...
Tom Morelock ( out going President ISTA) , Lonnie Phillips ( President Elect ) taught the class with help from John Dwiggens ( FTA 7-b) and CO Steve Delph and Steve Reinholt .
We even had a K-9 trapping demo from ISTA Hall of Famer Bill Lewis .....
Lonnie Phillips displays different types of Foothold traps
Tom Morelock does a beaver demo in my creek
( hey get your traps outta my spot )
Lonnie Phillips does a PVC set in my creek
( hey you get outta my spot too )
Our Trappers Education pet for the day ( the coon was an incidental catch from the night before and was released according to DNR regulations )
One of the many critters used in the skinning demos
A Grey Fox .... along with a skunk and a coon ( the coon was approved with a Permit from IDNR for educational purposes and was a roadkill ... the coon pelt was destroyed according to DNR Regulations after the class )
ISTA Hall of Fame Trapper Bill Lewis shows students the modifications done to his live foothold traps before his set demo ...
We had a great group of guys come together to put on this class ... and we were asked to participate in next years class being planned already as a 2 day course .
