In this episode, I go deep into the conversation around trapper ethics and our role in wildlife management by reading through my responses to some recent interview questions.  I review “A Life on the Line”, a trapping documentary film set in western Manitoba, and discuss a few other things, including an old interview with Montana […]

In this episode, I ponder the end of trapping season and discuss what you can expect from Trapping Today in the coming months, particularly a shift toward more product reviews during the offseason, and things I can get around to during a busy summer.  I open the floor to questions and requests - would love to know what you would like to hear/see in the future and am happy to try tackling trapping related questions.  I give some fur auction updates and talk about the 'roadkill fur lady'.  Enjoy!

I was asked to give an interview with a public radio station in a western state about bobcat prices and how high prices may be affecting trapper harvest and populations. I did some research and wanted to hash things over in the podcast to practice for the interview. Hope it goes well!

In this episode I talk about my GoPro video mistakes, recent updates on the fur market, the NAFA February fur auction, fur grades from FHA, and a little bit on trapping lure, my lure philosophy, lure testing, lure making education, and potential for a 'no secrets' lure. I got so far off topic, I didn't get a chance to cover the topic I mentioned at the beginning of the episode! No worries, I recorded Episode 13 as soon as I finished this one. Enjoy!

In this episode I go over the reason to use trapping lure, the types of lures, their effectiveness, and the overall part of the trapping supply industry that lures play.  I tend to think most lures are over-hyped and overrated nowadays, and look through scientific research and common sense thinking to evaluate how we should think about lures as trappers.  Enjoy!
