USA Jobs is the Federal jobs website. You can look by department and search that way. They’re not listed as trappers it’s listed as program manager-wildlife under the US Dept of Agriculture if I remember correctly. Yes, college in the field of wildlife management is a requirement, again if I remember correctly. 35-38k is an average salary. Last one I saw posted was out in Arizona somewhere but it closed a couple weeks ago.
Also make sure you check eligibility requirements, which are different than qualifications. Many of those jobs are not open to the public. Sometimes you have to already be in the federal system and transfer, or a veteran, or have prior volunteer experience with a federal agency in order to be eligible.

I think APHIS is what people call the Federal trappers. I don't ever see them around. I'm not sure who/what determines when they are called in. Yes, government ADC work shifted from the USFWS to APHIS during the Reagan Administration.

Something to think about: trapping is a blast until you HAVE to do it. Then it stops being fun.Just understanding trapping isn’t enough In today’s world. The federal government gives precedent to those with experience and a degree. Sure, there are exceptions, but the possibility of being passed over for a job, because someone with less trapping experience but a masters degree in wildlife manage is a real possibility.

Among many other criminal and fraudulent acts. Kirk DeKalb has a good one he could tell you about. Mark Dotson formerly of AAllAnimal Control has another one. I have a few, as well. Anyone who has trapped for a living for any length of time will not only lose work to WS but will discover they've been unfairly treated by their own government.
