This week on Trapping Radio we are looking into how one gets into the ADC trapping business. This is a 2 part show, the second one will be next week. We look at if your animal damage control business is a full time or part time business. How you charge has to be different. The mindset of each one, and how this effects how you charge a customer. Plus several ways to charge a customer in a creative way. The we go into the bases of how to get your name out there and why this is so important. If your looking for a quick list or infomercial plan this show will not help you. A real permanent business has to have a base of social capital and this should be the drive of your actions before you start spending the money or thinking like a major corporation.

This week on Trapping Radio I have a very good friend that I have trapped coyotes in New Mexico and otter, beaver and raccoons in Louisiana with. We are calling tonight’s show trapping adventures with Ed. Some of you may wander what the early out of state trips were like and ED and I are going to talk about it. Before we get to memory lane, ED talks about raccoons before we had the new traps like the Freedom Brand Dog proof traps. The raccoon trappers looked at and ran their raccoon lines very different than we do today.

In this week's episode, Jeff Dunlap talks about the bobcat trapping specifically walk thru sets and trench sets. Also covers a new flagging concept (which are really awesome and available on www.shetraps.com) as well as new product also available on Shetraps website. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, Jeff Dunlap talks about the fur market and mink trapping tips and thoughts on catching more on the line! Pocket sets, bottom edge sets, locations, bait and lures too. Enjoy!

This week on Trapping Radio we are looking into lessons on how to trap and catch coyote and fox with foothold traps. These trapping lessons are from watching and studying a lot of night vision footage. Please keep an open mind, because the animals sometimes show us very different things than we have in our personal trapping systems. One the coyotes, we look at trap set blocking, coyote approach, coyote reactions around sets, and how to keep them at set longer. Then we get into how fox act around the set. Some super cool things tonight.

This week on Trapping Radio we are going into coyote trapping. How to trap coyotes in summer, fawning season or warm weather. The coyotes life cycle must be considered depending on the time of the year. In the fall we have more coyotes per square mile to trap, not so in the summer. We have to understand the territory of the coyotes that have moved to a den. All of this info must be accounted for if you are performing predator control, ADC, live market or just trying to trap coyotes that are eating your deer or turkey.

This week on Trapping Radio we go into how to get into predator control in Texas and other game and bird ranches. Why using a suppressor on a gun is a winner on the trap line if not against the law. Suppressors are used in hunting all over the world for hunting, and most of these places are not gun friendly counties. How to sell castor. This could be dry or green. You have to know who the end user is to get the best prices.

This week on Trapping Radio you need to not listen if you are getting up in arms about the upcoming president election. Before that we cover shooting beaver on ADC jobs. Then we look at spending money on trapping products that you NEED and not for warm fuzzy feelings.

This week on Trapping Radio we talk about trap line dogs. I have had a great trap line dog that was more than a trapping tool, but a true trapping partner. Dogs can be super cool or a nightmare on a trap line so make sure you understand what you are getting into. Daisy my dog has bee with me in more states trapping than most trappers and we have caught coyotes, bobcats, mink, fox, beaver, raccoon and muskrats together. She went to a better trapping grounds last week and I will miss her. I wish every trapper could experience a dog as good as daisy on their own trap line, it is a magical thing.
