Trapping is not a very big thing here in south jersey or up in mountains of north jersey, but it is starting to come on more and more each year. Its not like Alaska over here. There is plenty of land, farms, lakes, rolling hills etc in jersey as most people might not know haha. Where I live in jersey it is nothing but farm land and woods for the most part. The main thing out here to trap is coyote/fox and raccoon/beaver. I am looking to basically start with 1-2 animals and focus on them just to learn the basics. There is a guy in our hunting club who lives and dies by trapping and I will be "apprenticing" under him basically. I have read about all the stuff involved with fleshing and skinning etc. I am willing to put in 110% effort to learn it all. Once I take the class I guess ill save a few bucks and start picking up some stuff from the sites you guys gave me.
