Trapping Radio -95 – The Best Trappers trap like a child, they Discover all the Time

Author: Trapping Radio 2.0 June 17, 2024 Duration: 1:20:31

This Week on Trapping Across America we are looking at how we are trained to think as adults and why this way of thinking can hurt your trapping. Most of us want to do what we are told to think. Like where is the right place to put a trap at a coyote set? Where does the trap go on a raccoon set out on the water or a pocket set? You have a trap placement in mind, but why, where did you get your ideas from? have you challenged these ideas.

Most trapping is done with the grown up adult way of thinking. Sounds right, but this way of thinking does not leave a lot of room for discovering the things out on your own trap line. Kids discover for the sake of discovery, you want to be a better trapper, you should really be open to discovery. You might find that little kid that has to ask why and why not. Discovery is the key to find better and faster ways to trap. I will be talking about something that I have been playing around, ….the Portable Pocket. It has opened my eyes.


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.
