Trapping Radio – 99 – Why you should make your trapping into a real business, part one Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

his Week on Trapping Radio we are going to look at why you need to turn your trapping into a real business. Having a business gives you a massive advantage over a trapper that has to pay all of his trapping expenses with after tax income. You might be surprised to find out that you may have $5,000 to $ 50,000 of tax-free money you can’t take advantage of if you treating your trapping like a business. We will look into what the government is planning on doing and if you are not covering your back side. You might find yourself working for years to pay off a IRS bill. Don’t be this guy. The rules for money are set up for a business, not a hobby. Our world is changing, so get into the game of being a profitable trapper.

Trapping Radio – 98 – The fur market, selling fur, making real money from fur trapping Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

This week on Trapping Across America we are looking into our current fur market. I’m sure you have heard about prices being high and low all at the same time. The rumors are spreading like wild-fire. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I have spent some time digging around and talking to some fur buyers. You have options when you sell your fur, it is your product, not a fur buyers. We will also get into how a trapper can let the fur market work for them, not the other way around. So if you think you have to sell fur at any low price, I hope I can change your mind. The fur market is a powerful tool if a trapper thinks about the future and not always in the present.

You may be thinking it is a trapping location, a certain set, magic lure or bait or the perfect trapping system. Not so, the true secret to being a better trapper is your brain, how you think and the will to be better. I must warn you, this is not a normal Trapping Radio show.

Trapping Radio -95 – The Best Trappers trap like a child, they Discover all the Time Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

This Week on Trapping Across America we are looking at how we are trained to think as adults and why this way of thinking can hurt your trapping. Most of us want to do what we are told to think. Like where is the right place to put a trap at a coyote set? Where does the trap go on a raccoon set out on the water or a pocket set? You have a trap placement in mind, but why, where did you get your ideas from? have you challenged these ideas.

Most trapping is done with the grown up adult way of thinking. Sounds right, but this way of thinking does not leave a lot of room for discovering the things out on your own trap line. Kids discover for the sake of discovery, you want to be a better trapper, you should really be open to discovery. You might find that little kid that has to ask why and why not. Discovery is the key to find better and faster ways to trap. I will be talking about something that I have been playing around, ….the Portable Pocket. It has opened my eyes.

Trapping Radio – 94 – schizophrenic, socialist thinking and bitter trappers plus road trapping with Jeff Dunlap Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

This week on Trapping Across America we have the one and only Jeff Dunlap with us. We are talking about the internet, the bad side and the good side of how it is part of trapping today. The bottom line, we as trappers can and should use social media platforms and forums to help each other, not attack and demean other trappers. We have PETA for that already. If you do not want your wife, mom or grandmother to see your ranting, maybe some thought should be put into your post before you hit enter. Next I get to talk to Jeff about his trapping and road trapping in Louisiana.

Note from Clint….we are not calling any trapper schizophrenic, a socialist or bitter. We are talking about the thought process that comes across on-line. We are not talking about ……a single person or a single trapper. So don’t jump to a conclusion that is not based off of facts.

Trapping Radio – 93 – Clint Locklear is on the hot seat, what it was really like becoming a pro trapper Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

This week on Trapping Across America, we have….well me….Clint Locklear. I am getting interviewed by Norm Blackwell. He thought this would be interesting to do, so he could ask me questions about what it was like for me becoming a professional trapper. For years Norm thought I had money somehow when I got started, boy was he mistaken. Becoming a pro trapper is different for everyone, for me it was by the skin of my teeth. One thing I was sure of, I was going to make it, security be damned. So if you are struggling to make your dream come true, it may suck sometimes, but worth every bowl of Ramen you have to eat.

Trapping Radio – 92 – How to Trap and Catch more fur with Brandon Johnson from Trapper TV May 27, 2024

Show notes

This Week on Trapping Across America we have the trapping machine Brandon Johnson. We were together on a control job while we were filming Trapping TV in the south. One night after everything got quite I talked him into giving us an interview for Trapping Radio. A lot of you have seen some of his catch photo’s on Facebook and other places. It is impressive to say the least. Brandon is from Ohio, but state hops to keep piling up fur. He is known for a raccoon, beaver and otter trapper, but I can tell you from being with him, he can catch what ever he targets. I think you get a kick out of this interview, I hope it fires up some guys to copy Brandon work ethic.
