Answer
Hello Don,

While I have handled "problem animals" for people on several occasions, I did it as a personal matter because I was asked to do so by the person(s) having the problem, and not on an official basis... So, I can't personally give you any information on this myself.......... However, this link should have all the information you need, and by clicking at the top where it says, "Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator Annual Summary Form", it will take you to a copy of the form that you can print off.... Also, reading thru there you will find at least one name and phone number. I am sure that by calling this number and speaking to the gentleman, he can give you any other information you may need, or direct you to someone who can.

Expertise

I can answer most basic questions concerning predator trapping and some water trapping. Questions about lures, baits, sets, traps, trap treatment, modification, sizes, equipment, usage, etc. I have been certified by the Okla. Dept. of Wildlife Conservation, the old First Okla. Trapper`s Assoc., and the Okla. State Univ. Extension Service as a trapping instructor, and in years past have given classes to people wishing to learn the sport...I also have a number of years experience in predator calling and can provide some basic answers to these questions as well.

Experience

About 30 years running my own traplines, and almost 60 years experience in the outdoors.

Education/Credentials
I have been certified by the Okla. Dept. of Wildlife Conservation, the old First Okla. Trapper`s Assoc., and the Okla. State Univ. Extension Service, as a trapping instructor... I have also received personal instruction from two professional ADC specialists.

Past/Present Clients
As far as teaching what I know to others. I take this to be what you mean here... I have helped my son, and son in law, as well as a number of others in this area, to get started in trapping and predator calling... I have had personal instruction from professional government ADC specialists, and I have 30 years experience running my own traplines, and close to 60 years of experience in the outdoors...... I have a friend who is a troop leader with the Boy Scouts. In the past I have done several demonstrations on trapping and predator calling for the boys, and on a number of occasions have helped the troop to set up and run a trapline during the winter, with proceeds going to the troop.
