Manitoba Wildlife Federation's video: How-To Trap Muskrats - History

The Manitoba Wildlife Federation is proud to announce our How-To Muskrat trap video series. The objective of this video series is to create trapping videos that can be distributed easily, accessible to all and used as a teaching resource in trapping mentorship programs and as an additional resource to the Trappers Education course. The MWF will be launching 5 videos pertaining to various trapping ethics, regulations, various trap sets, field tips and techniques to trapping, proper skinning techniques and utilization. Manitoba Wildlife Federation is passionate about educating members and the general public about conservation, habitat and resources, as well as safe and ethical outdoor activities such as angling, hunting and trapping. Much like hunting in Manitoba, our province has seen a significant decline in trapping license sales over the last few decades. Resources that adhere to the younger generations, including trapping mentorship programs or accessible How-to trapping videos, are very limited. There is a need to fill this educational gap and create trapping videos that can be distributed easily, that are accessible to all, and used as a teaching resource in trapping mentorship programs or the Trappers Education course. A special thanks goes out to Manitoba Habitat Conservancy for making this video series possible with the support from the Fish and Wildlife Enhancement Fund.
