Convention with Cole: Podcast Episode 92

Author: Trapping Today August 25, 2019 Duration: 1:09:56
In this episode I sit down with Cole Porter at Neil Olson's New England Trappers Weekend. We discuss a variety of topics, including buying used traps, picking up supplies, trapping bumper stickers, season plans, trapping around competition, teachers of the night, trapping lures, bear trapping and trapping books. Hope you enjoy! Note: I had a hard time editing out some of the loud background noise in a few places. Spent a couple hours on it with no success, decided to put it out there anyway.
