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.
