Mini BOW “Got Fur: The Life of a Fur Trader” Workshop

Learn the lifestyle of early trapping/fur traders along our bayous and rivers, also known as "mountain men". This class will teach you about the different traps and different ways to make a set. Participants will see replica "trading post" items from the era, as well as trapping techniques, what baits and lures are needed, the different tools needed for trapping and hide preparation, and methods for native American brain-tanning of deer/animal hides. This workshop involves hands-on examples by historical re-enactor Buckskin Billy and trap setting demonstrations by Cody Livingston.
