I spoke with a very nice Kansas trapper yesterday. He had a lot of stories as most of us do. He has been trapping since the 60s. We swapped stories for a couple of hours. Got me to thinking about how many trappers from Kansas are in here. I think it would be good for me since I recently found out my health is declining and could talk with other local trappers in Kansas that I may not know


I have many squirrel cage traps that I need to get rid of

Hi Bob,

I have been trapping mostly in NE Kansas for about 30 years. I have enjoyed it

I just trap my own land currently here in state. I came from Nebraska where I cut my teeth trapping and stacking up the coyotes. Tooo many people and tooo many free roaming dogs to trap much around me and actually enjoy it.

It's been a long time since I trapped in Jackson Co as a youth but fond memories I have of the area. You could unload at Dick's and if you didn't like hid bid Lee or Dan's places weren't too much farther. We got spoiled.

I trap in Kansas. Most of my trapping is in Butler county. I've really focused on land trapping the last few years. Especially easy since we've been in a drought.

I also pull my line the day before "Furminator" ( I think that is his name, the guys that come from up north to trap Kansas every year) is headed this way. They have a habit of showing up right when the weather turns sour.

Been trapping Kansas since mid 50's as often as I could in school years and as time allowed until retirement in 2005 and have trapped a few of my favorite critters since.
