Trapping Radio – 87 – Fox, otter, raccoon, beaver trapping with the one and only Opossum Skinner

Author: Trapping Radio 2.0 April 22, 2024 Duration: 1:21:32

This week on Trapping Across America we have the one and only Opossum Skinner from the great southern state of Virginia. If you have been to very many trapping conventions you have meet Mr. Skinner. He is the southerner guy that is always smiling, having fun and sharing his trapping stories to who ever will listen to him. He is a easy guy to talk with, but if you really listen past the humor, you will figure out real quick that he is a hard core trapper that understands the game of trapping. I always enjoy talking trapping with him, because he thinks outside of the box and understands animals and uses this thought process when he is setting steel.


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.
