Trapper's Post, a new trapping magazine published and edited by trapper Bob Noonan

Trapper’s Post is a bi-monthly (6 issues a year) trapping magazine of tabloid size (11x12-inch).The Trapper's Post cover

Trapper’s Post focuses exclusively on trapping. It provides in-depth articles with detailed information to help readers become more effective trappers. Some articles will be by recognized experts, but some will also be by excellent trappers known only to a handful of people. As Bill Nelson said, “Some of the best trappers in the country never saw their names in print.”

Trapper’s Post covers much more than how-to trapping information. We’ll have articles on wilderness trapping experiences, lure and bait making, equipment, furbearer behavior, history and heritage, and more. Because conditions vary widely across the continent, articles will come from different areas.

Although rooted in North America’s history, trapping is also a vital, modern, changing profession. Trapper’s Post keeps you current with changes in equipment, methods, the fur market, legislation, and more.

Regardless of where we live, we trappers are part of a community that shares many common values. Trapper’s Post serves and strengthens that community.

Trapper’s Post also has these regular departments:

Fur Handling – Fur handling experts tell how to improve pelt handling methods, and pelt value.

Fur Market Musings – Up-to-date report written after consulting fur buyers and market experts.

ADC – Nuisance wildlife trapping can be very profitable. The professional nuisance wildlife industry has made major innovative developments in supplies, equipment, and methods, that many fur trappers are unaware of. Leading national experts share their knowledge.

The Trapper’s Post Interview – Well-known and unknown expert trappers, supply dealers, equipment manufacturers, lure makers, fur buyers, and others.

On The Line – John Graham, professional predator control agent and fur trapper, shares experiences and observations.

Midwest Trapline – Gerald Schmitt, well-known fur trapper and supply dealer, shares his knowledge.

Around the Campfire – Parker Dozhier editorial; politics, philosophy, etc.

Shorty & Bill – The continuing saga of amateur trapper Shorty bugging pro trapper Bill for advice.

Fur Shed Fables – Humorous personal trapline experiences.

The Great Teachers – In every issue for a year we’ll print a segment from Charles Dobbins’ book The Great Teachers, about his boyhood trapping and learning experiences.
