Trap's Lodge - Your Hunting Resource

Short and sweet, Trapper talks about what you need to be doing now to prep for spring turkey, axis, and exotic hunting.

Recently Trapper had a chance to sit down with his dad and talk about his childhood, his dad’s life growing up, and what led him to make a lot of the decisions he did when raising Trapper. In this episode in particular they talk about raising dogs, professional hunting school, and Africa. Enjoy!

Trapper joins us from West Texas and talks about his week guiding mule deer and aoudad hunters. He walks through one of his hunts with a first time West Texas hunter. We discuss what most people expect going to West Texas versus what it’s actually like. And of course, we discuss just how much we love it out there. Happy 2022! Enjoy!

Sit back and reminisce as we revisit the best of 2021 and the worst of 2021. Shooting a coyote in Wyoming makes the best list while a surprise visitor in the deer barn makes the worst. Cheers! We’ll see you in 2022!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Tune into this quick episode for a cull buck story Trapper has from two Christmases ago.

Russell is back! Trapper and him discuss his Wyoming hunt for elk and mule deer, how his new rifle performed and the weather. Then, Russell tells us all about his fourth and most recent trip to Africa with his wife and his daughter. He has a heart stopping run in with a Buffalo, walks with lions, and visits the mini Vegas of Africa. Enjoy!

There’s nothing better than family time. Thanks for joining us as we share ours with you.
