North Carolina Trapping

This week I attended an excellent excellent Safe-Capture International Inc. immobilization course taught by Dr. Keith Amass.  I learned an incredible amount of useful information for handling animals safety in the field.  I then spent two days in the field with a graduate student studying road-crossings and red-wolf ecology in North Carolina.  We caught a 450lb black bear and I helped work through the processing of the animal to place a radio-collar.  I also attended a Trapper Education Program developed by the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies.  We got hands on experience with the best practices for trapping and I am now a certified trapper in North Carolina.
