<p>I get criticized and sometimes people feel they need to defend their use of cheap traps.  I've upgraded my traps since I started trapping, targeting top quality high performing traps, that do cost more than other traps.  But there are reasons that I like these traps, and most trappers as they gain experience realize the benefits of these traps.  But that doesn't mean you need those traps to get started now.  Better to start with cheap traps that you buy rather than daydream about trapping with the expensive traps.  </p>

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.
