Yeah, it's episode 200 of the podcast. But I've never been big on milestones, birthdays, holidays or celebrations, so on we go, with little fanfare. In this episode I chat with Alex from Wisconsin, a fellow farmer who spends parts of his winters trapping raccoons and muskrats. Most of his raccoon trapping is done with dog proofs and focused on helping other farmers with crop damage problems. He catches most of his muskrats through the ice. It's a fun conversation and I learned a lot about DP trapping. We also talk a little about bear hunting, coyotes and other stuff. Enjoy!

In this episode we go over trapping BMP's, or Best Management Practices. BMP's were developed as a result of a 20+ year study designed to provide science-based information on trapping practices that meet the criteria for animal welfare, efficiency, selectivity, practicality and safety. BMP's are not mandatory, but parts of them may be implemented by individual state agencies. I think BMP's are best suited to better inform us as we make decisions on traps to use, how to use them, and other practices to further animal welfare and industry improvement.
