Kris Pope, from Coyote Trapping School, provides instruction and educational content for people interested in getting started, or getting better, at trapping furbearers and predators.

Coyote Trapping School Podcast ·

2019/07/26

In this episode I talk through some of my thoughts and ideas around summer beaver trapping, first off the idea that I'm not a fan of summer trapping anything unless you are getting paid! Not only are you dealing with the heat but also turtles, snakes, and in some cases even alligators. There are things you can do to avoid these encounters, hopefully this will help you if you decided to give it a try.

Ep 50 - NTA Convention - Springfield Missouri

Coyote Trapping School Podcast ·

2019/07/18

This year I took the time to drive to Springfield Missouri and attend the National Trappers Association Convention, and let me tell you it was well worth the drive! There were a ton of vendors, great demonstrations by top trappers in the industry, and plenty of folks to talk trapping with. If you ever get the opportunity to attend one of the national conventions I would encourage you to do it, and I've heard the ones farther north are even better!

Kids on the Trapline

2019/07/10

With a young, and growing!!!, family it is important to me to get my son involved in the outdoors and trapping, in hopes that he will stick with it and appreciate the lifestyle that comes with it. In today's world kids, and people in general, are more and more detached from the land and the realities of life. Trapping is a great way to engage kids in an outdoor activity and keep them interested.

Otter Trapping Episode 48

Coyote Trapping School Podcast ·

2019/07/02

In this episode we talk otters and otter trapping. I guess you could say that I am a generalist when it comes to trapping, I like to target anything that is on the property that I am trapping, so when I'm water trapping if otters are present I am setting for them. To me they are like the coyote of the water, they are fairly easy to catch but sometimes it is a waiting game for them to come back through the area. When they do though and end up in your trap, man it is exciting! I hope this episode

"Hoofbeats of a Wolfer" Book Review

Coyote Trapping School Podcast ·

2019/06/24

In this episode I review the Craig O'Gorman book "Hoofbeats of a Wolfer." This book is pretty well known among trappers, but it isn't the easiest book to get. You have to order it direct from O'Gorman Enterprises, but if you are a serious coyote trapper, this book is worth the hassle. There is a ton of great information from O'Gorman, a professional coyote trapper whose livelihood has been made from trapping coyotes for over 40 years. You will definitely take some things away from this book that

He didn't disappoint, this interview has some good tactics that I know I will be integrating into my trapline this coming season. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode I talk through what I look for as I am getting my traps ready to be dyed and put up for the coming season. They are pretty straightforward and simple, stake, tag, proper operation, on conibears the trigger. I also started checking pan tension last year. These are simple things but can make a difference when you are out on the line!

2019/05/21

In this episode I delve into hog trapping, as I've just recently got my hands on some high tech hog trapping equipment. I don't yet have much experience trapping hogs but a good friend of mine is a hog biologist that specializes in trapping them so I've leaned on him heavily for some hog trapping knowledge. And I'll share with you what I learn along the way.

2019/05/16

In this episode I go through a recent article published in Quality Whitetails about a large coyote research project in the Southeast. The article focuses on what the data means for managing deer, but I think the data could also help us as trappers learn more about the coyote and his habits. I also touch on a few things I'm thinking of doing differently for the coming season, particularly some things that I've read in O'Gorman's Hoofbeats of a Wolfer book.

Catfishing - Episode 40 - Coyote Trapping School Podcast

Coyote Trapping School Podcast ·

2019/05/07

One of my favorite summertime activities is catfishing, especially with trotlines, jugs, and limb lines. Its like summertime trapping, except enjoyable! And a great way to quickly fill the freezer. It is very easy and cheap to do any of these methods, and you can even use a kayak or canoe and do them effectively too. If you're itching to fill your trapping fix during the off season give one of these methods a try, just be sure you've got plenty of grease to release them into!

Summertime Coyote Trapping - Episode 39 - Coyote...

Coyote Trapping School Podcast ·

2019/04/25

I've been getting a lot of questions lately about what bait and lure to use trapping in the summer. In this episode I talk about some of the challenges of summer trapping and also give a run down of how to overcome those challenges, and some bait and lure thoughts. Summer trapping is a little different than fur trapping, but you're still learning and adapting to the coyote's habits. You just have to think about it a little different. They are still very catchable.

The trapline can take us to some remote places, often alone, in harsh conditions. Many of us run farm country traplines where we are rarely out of sight of a house and never lose cell service. Either way there are multiple hazards that can arise and being prepared can help to ensure you do not get stuck in a bad position and ensure you come home safely, all in one piece.

Once you get started trapping it is only a matter of time until someone wants to pay you to remove some of their critters. This can be a great way to earn a little side money or even potentially work into a career change, but there are some things to consider and take care of before hand. Hopefully over these next 2 episodes I can help at least point you in the right direction if this is something you have been considering.

There are multiple options when it comes to getting fur tanned, whether you're just wanting to get your first coyote tanned for a wall hanger or you want to get a batch tanned to try making things with. First off, no offense to taxidermists, but you're cheapest option is not to take it to a taxidermist. They are going to send it off anyway and you'll get charged from them too. Here are several tanneries that specialize in fur tanning, some I've used and some I haven't - USA Foxx - www.usafoxx.com

The anti hunting and trapping groups have been hard at work pushing legislation to restrict hunting and trapping. This seems the most active things have been in several years all at once and we must pay attention to what is going on if we hope to keep our ability to hunt and trap.
