I haven't done any trapping yet, but wanted to share this cool site I found while searching for info. Great if you're a hunter who wants to get started trapping in Illinois and needs a license... probably a lot of good info too even if you are a licensed trapper who wants to learn some more, there's a lot of great instructional videos.

The site is http://www.trappered.com. Go there and then click on the Illinois course link.

You have to register to use the site, but it's free and easy. A lot of video clips on there, featuring experienced trappers demoing trap prep, making sets, skinning, and prepping fur for sale. And if you complete the course, it counts for the first part of certification to getting a license.

check it out, for sure.
