Tragic Wisdom from a New Trapper – Podcast Ep 166

Author: Trapping Today January 24, 2021 Duration: 52:28
In this episode I chat with Philippe from Virginia. He's a relatively new trapper and the artist behind the Trapping Today Mustelid t-shirt. We talk about his background and a variety of thoughts on trapping, touching particularly on James Tantillo's concept of tragic wisdom as it relates to his first experience with the reality of trapping, and so much more. Enjoy!
