This week on Trapping Across America we are looking into how to prepare traps at the end or the beginning of the trapping season. So if you new to trapping or have only used one trap prep method for years, we hope some of the info we go into tonight will help you out or maybe get you thinking about why you dye, wax, paint or dip your traps. To me the reason we treat or traps is to keep them working, strong and in good shape. We also cover how or what you do with trapping lure, bait, scent, fish oil and urine at the end of the year. How do you keep fresh urine fresh. How long does lure of bait last? Sun and heat are the enemy!


Join Jeff Dunlap and Sarah Gomez for Trapping Radio 2.0, a conversation that extends far beyond the trap line. This podcast digs into the nuanced world of modern trapping, exploring techniques, ethics, and the changing landscapes that both wildlife and trappers navigate. Each episode is grounded in practical knowledge, from gear talk and setting strategies to fur handling and regulations, but it’s also about the quieter moments-the stories from a day in the woods, the problem-solving, and the deep connection to the outdoors that defines this way of life. Jeff and Sarah bring a balanced, experienced perspective, often debating approaches or sharing hard-learned lessons with a genuine camaraderie. You’ll hear unfiltered discussions about conservation roles, land stewardship, and the simple, often muddy, realities of spending time in the field. It’s a listen for anyone interested in the hands-on aspects of wildlife management or those who just appreciate honest talk about rural living and traditional skills. Tune in for a podcast that captures the sound of boots on the ground and the thoughtful conversation that happens after the traps are checked.

This week’s show Jeff Dunlap talks about bobcat trapping. We are getting ready to go down south to trap beaver and bobcats, so thought it would be good to talk about bobcat trapping in different states. Enjoy!
