This week on Trapping Across America, we talk about a trapper building a $1,277,000.00 business with only 1000 customers or $50,000 with 40 customers. No, Clint Locklear is not high or drinking, makes so much sense it is scary. This problem with making money trapping is normally a creativity issue not a reality issue. We also go into a different thought process of why FAILURE IS AN OPTION.

On the last part of the show, we cover what to do when you see coyote or fox tracts or coyote or fox scat at a set with no catch. You have options, pick the right one.

Happy Halloween and have a happier trapping season!


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.
