This week on Trapping radio we cover many trapping related topics as normal. I get asked a very interesting question. When did I or think I was ready to go into predator control full time. I go into this neck deep because it is such a important topic to think about if one wants to be a paid predator trapper. Then we ask a question about the NTA and the FTA about helping push forward the idea of working with states to allow us trappers to have high quality meat sales to the ever growing market of the wild food and paleo diets. One is a more important thing they could do to drive interest into trapping, because 10 pounds of organic free range all natural pure beaver meat would be $5-10 a pound. It is such a wasted opportunity for trappers today. Then we get in the weeds with supporting a snare to think of in a way that gets a trapper the highest quality catches possible.


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.
