2021 Update
Unfortunately, I will not be offering any classes this year.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has been very supportive of my training classes for the last 10 years. In 2020 , the Attorney General's office reviewed their licensing procedure for my business and found that the type of permit that WDFW had been using for me did not meet state law.
WDFW worked out a process that would allow me to obtain a different type of permit through the Department of Agriculture.
I will need to obtain a Federal permit, and then a state permit, and then catch a rattlesnake in Oregon or Idaho and have it tested by a veterinarian.
Between my day job and time I want to spend with my family, I am not sure when I will be able to knock off all these steps, but I don't see getting this accomplished in time to offer classes in 2021.
Thanks for your past support for this important training
