This week on Trapping Across America we have the one and only Jeff Dunlap. A professional trapper from Michigan. He not only traps for a living, he has a lure line and several dvd’s on the market. Jeff is a good friend of mine, so I take some liberties cutting up with him. We talk about the fur market and fur prices. Freedom Brand FB2 dog proof traps and otter trapping with footholds. This year Jeff Dunlap started working in a lot of foot hold traps into his otter trapping and his otter size and catch size increased. We also learn more Dunlap words of wisdom.


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.
