In this episode of the Coyote Trapping School Podcast I interview Robert Sevon, who runs Lonely Den Trapping Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.  We talk about trapping apps, public land trapping, a little coyote calling, we run the gamut and have a lot of fun.

Robert Sevon - Ep 25 - CTS Podcast

Kris Pope, from Coyote Trapping School, provides instruction and educational content for people interested in getting started, or getting better, at trapping furbearers and predators.  Many people consider trapping a dying art, but there is still plenty of interest whether from outdoorsmen and women who are looking to further their outdoor skills, wildlife managers looking to enhance game populations through predator control, or survivalists interesting in knowing how to obtain food and fur in a survival situation.  Follow along as Kris gives trapping industry updates, instructional information, and updates on his wintertime trapline.  With a wide array of experience, from trapping artic foxes in Alaska to alligators in Florida, and a degree in wildlife biology, Kris’ passion lies in wildlife management and matching wits with wild critters near and far.

109 - Coyote Trapping Tactics

In this episode I touch quickly on what could be a major impact on the fur market, related to COVID.  Then I go through a general overview of coyote biology and behavior.  As trappers, we should be experts on the game that we pursue, so I thought it might be helpful to review some data regarding coyotes, hopefully to improve our effectiveness as trappers.  Coyotes are a pretty interesting critter anyway, especially looking at their expansion throughout North American, and possibly soon South America.

108 - Coyote Biology and Behavior

In this episode I talk about eating furbearer meat.  If you’re a trapper or hunter, odds are that you’ve at least considered eating various wild game.  I think eating some of the meat we catch is a great opportunity to introduce others to wild game as well as give us some additional arguments to those who don’t approve of trapping.  The fact is, when handled properly it is quality tablefare, and a great talking point!

106 - Q&A and Rambling

In this week’s episode I dig into some trapper survey data and find some historical data of trapper harvest from several different states, some dating back to the 1930s.  It is very interesting data and highlights how important it is for trappers to accurately respond to those surveys.  Our game agencies rely on us for good data, and if we don’t provide it to them then they don’t have good data to manage the resource with.     To get your hands on a Shortliner Trapping Bag visit -  https://www.coyotetrappingschool.com/product/shortliner-trapping-bag/  Trapping season is coming quickly, be sure to get your supplies from Kaatz Bros Lures, www.kaatzbros.com and email me with questions or podcast ideas kris@coyotetrappingschool.com  Trappers Academy -  https://www.coyotetrappingschool.com/trappers-academy-now-open/ Data Links discussed -   https://www.michigan.gov/documents/dnr/2018_michigan_furbearer_harvest_survey_report_678251_7.pdf  https://www.ncwildlife.org/Trapping/Learn-Resources/Surveys-Reports  https://www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/Population-Harvest-Trends  https://www.inhs.illinois.edu/files/6515/5138/2740/2017-2018_Trapper_Report_FINAL.pdf  https://www.pgc.pa.gov/InformationResources/MediaReportsSurveys/AnnualWildlifeManagementReports/Documents/11101-17z.pdf
