This week on Trapping Across America we have Sam Pole from Virginia. Sam is a great guy to talk too. He has been around the block a few times. He traps in the urban areas around his home in VA. He was trained and was friends with the trapping legend Charlie Dobbins. He fur traps and runs a neat ADC business with the most of his work being beaver. Sam uses the Hancock live beaver trap in a way I have never heard of before. Very interesting indeed. Kick back, grab a cold one or a steaming mug of coffee and enjoy!

This week on Trapping Across America we have the one and only Opossum Skinner from the great southern state of Virginia. If you have been to very many trapping conventions you have meet Mr. Skinner. He is the southerner guy that is always smiling, having fun and sharing his trapping stories to who ever will listen to him. He is a easy guy to talk with, but if you really listen past the humor, you will figure out real quick that he is a hard core trapper that understands the game of trapping. I always enjoy talking trapping with him, because he thinks outside of the box and understands animals and uses this thought process when he is setting steel.

Jeff Dunlap and Sarah Gomez join Chris Walter on his muskrat trapline in North Dakota. An out-of-state trapping trip is a lot of work and takes a lot of planning and organizing, but Chris has mastered it! In just a short 10 days, we caught well over 1,000 muskrats! Enjoy!

Liz and Sarah chat about Razorback Snares specifics, how to order snares for the first time, understanding the components of snares, and how Liz can walk you thru the process for the first time! Also chat about trapping in general, women in trapping, how to get started, what we've learned in Arkansas and trapping with friends.

This week on Trapping Across America we have an awesome interview with Leon Smith from KY. A trapper since childhood, he made his dream of becoming a USDA trapper later in life. He trapped in the east and chased and hunted coyotes in CO for the government. I’ve know Leon for years, I respect a lot of trappers, but Leon is nothing but first class. You will enjoy this interview and learn somethings at the same time about the art of trapping. There is magic in the sack with a glimpse of a ringed tail sticking out of it. You will feel the power of this is a few moments. Sit back, kick your shoes off and enjoy the show

In this week's episode, Jeff Dunlap and Sarah Gomez sit down with Albert Simpson in South Texas. Albert talks about high fence snaring and how he got to know Clint Locklear and trap several years with him in Texas. Albert also shares some "old school tricks" that he has found to work on his trapline whether he's in South Texas, Montana or Pennsylvania. Enjoy!
