Trapping Radio 2.0

This week on Trapping Radio we are going down memory lane, I was at a Garth Brooks concert and girl opened for him and a song she sang took me back in time in my dads horse barn the year I broke 500 beaver. This got me thinking about a lot of great memories that I had on the trap line. Skinning beaver from a truck heater. Releasing otter and pit bulls and all the way too Ron Leggett’s fur shop. Trapping should be about making memories, not only the money, so go make some epic memories.

This week on Trapping Radio, Chip from Expand-A-Pan interviews Mark from Maine. Chip was hunting in Maine and after talking to Mark about all the road trips he has made going out of state hunting, he thought the same goes for trapping out of state. Mark has been everywhere and has hunted about everything, but the logistics is the key for a smooth trip. So if you have dreamed about trapping out of state or hunting for that matter, sit back and enjoy yourself. Mark is one super cool guy that has been there and done that in spades.

This week on Trapping Radio we are looking into how one gets into the ADC trapping business. This is a 2 part show, The first show was Trapping Radio 155 last week. I recommend that if you have not heard part one, you do so before you continue with this weeks show. How do I get customers for my ADC business? Then we talk about different ways to make money in a beaver control business that most trappers DO NOT do. These different avenues of revenue will give a new ADC beaver business a massive edge over other trapping companies. Then how and why to have a web site that your customers need to have to find you. We are not talking about a ego web-site, but one that drives customers to you

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.

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.
