2013 Camera Trapping Workshop Sales Pitch

Curious about camera trapping, but kick yourself because you never tried it? 

Tired of getting the same old critters when you check your camera? 

Ever wonder what it takes to get photos of charismatic mammals and birds? 

Do you get depressed because you aren't measuring up to your potential as a camera trapper?

Do you wake up at night wondering if the mountain beaver is an urban myth?


If you answered yes to any of these questions,  
this workshop is for you.


The workshop will teach you more about the theory and practice of camera trapping than you ever thought possible. 

It will stimulate you intellectually, entertain you, exercise your body, allow you to commune with nature, and teach you the essentials of using camera traps to educate yourself about wildlife.

It's a hands-on experience. 

You'll get instruction every day; the codger will take you to the field and coach you on making camera trap sets for specific species. 

He knows where the critters can be found and will teach you how to find them yourself. 

You'll get a decent dose of mammalogy along the way.

The workshop takes place in the rarified air of the Sierra Nevada, where the pikas call defiantly from the talus slopes and the martens chase chickarees through the red firs.

Your appetite will improve. You will be well fed.

If I lived in the US I would have signed up for this. Great to meet you in Burma, you have given me the bug to make more stills camera traps.
