This week on Trapping Across America we have the one and only Jeff Dunlap with us. We are talking about the internet, the bad side and the good side of how it is part of trapping today. The bottom line, we as trappers can and should use social media platforms and forums to help each other, not attack and demean other trappers. We have PETA for that already. If you do not want your wife, mom or grandmother to see your ranting, maybe some thought should be put into your post before you hit enter. Next I get to talk to Jeff about his trapping and road trapping in Louisiana.

Note from Clint….we are not calling any trapper schizophrenic, a socialist or bitter. We are talking about the thought process that comes across on-line. We are not talking about ……a single person or a single trapper. So don’t jump to a conclusion that is not based off of facts.

In this weeks episode of Trapping Radio 2.0 Jeff Dunlap (Dunlap Lures) talks about all things muskrat trapping! Enjoy!

This week on Trapping Across America, we have….well me….Clint Locklear. I am getting interviewed by Norm Blackwell. He thought this would be interesting to do, so he could ask me questions about what it was like for me becoming a professional trapper. For years Norm thought I had money somehow when I got started, boy was he mistaken. Becoming a pro trapper is different for everyone, for me it was by the skin of my teeth. One thing I was sure of, I was going to make it, security be damned. So if you are struggling to make your dream come true, it may suck sometimes, but worth every bowl of Ramen you have to eat.

In this weeks episode Jeff Dunlap (Dunlap Lures) talks about getting ready for conventions and a recap of out our out-of-state trapping trips over the season. We hope to see you this summer at a convention! Check our facebook/websites for complete list of conventions we will be attending. Enjoy!

This Week on Trapping Across America we have the trapping machine Brandon Johnson. We were together on a control job while we were filming Trapping TV in the south. One night after everything got quite I talked him into giving us an interview for Trapping Radio. A lot of you have seen some of his catch photo’s on Facebook and other places. It is impressive to say the least. Brandon is from Ohio, but state hops to keep piling up fur. He is known for a raccoon, beaver and otter trapper, but I can tell you from being with him, he can catch what ever he targets. I think you get a kick out of this interview, I hope it fires up some guys to copy Brandon work ethic.

This week on Trapping Radio we have Mike Kemble with us. Who is Mike? Well he is a trapper that traps in Ohio and other states for coyotes, bobcats, raccoon, muskrats, otter and beaver. Besides that, he took a world record 8 point whitetail deer. He is also the producer for our new project Trapping TV. We talk about this in detail tonight along with how to put traps on animals.

This week on Trapping Across America we have Chuck Welden from AL. Chuck is a trapper. He sets traps when he has time mostly on his on farm and for other land owners around his county. He has more experience with beaver and is now learning the predator side of the game. I have been down to his farm three times now having a lot of fun and going over the finer points of catching coyotes, raccoon and otter. We have Chuck on tonight for not only talking about trapping, but as a land owner. If you want to trap on quality farms with more up-scale owners, you have to understand them and what makes them tick. What makes Chuck tick? That would take hours, but we do get him to open up from the point of view of a landowner that manages his property from deer, turkey, quail and fish.

In this weeks episode Jeff Dunlap (Dunlap Lures and Sarah Gomez (SheTraps) talks about the season being over and... now what? What do you do with your traps, your furs, baits/lures, your time and how to prepare for next season. Enjoy!

This week on Trapping Across America we are talking about how to find ground when trapping out of state. How to find places to trap. How to find a place to skin and all that goes along with out of state trapping. We also talk about a lesion that I was taught again this year. Be set up for what you are trapping at the moment. We are still working on getting this site upgraded, so it will be faster. Setting up a dedicated server was a bigger project than I expected.

This week on Trapping Across America we have Sam Pole from Virginia. Sam is a great guy to talk too. He has been around the block a few times. He traps in the urban areas around his home in VA. He was trained and was friends with the trapping legend Charlie Dobbins. He fur traps and runs a neat ADC business with the most of his work being beaver. Sam uses the Hancock live beaver trap in a way I have never heard of before. Very interesting indeed. Kick back, grab a cold one or a steaming mug of coffee and enjoy!
