Much of North America was settled by trappers who explored and pioneered this great country. In many areas it is a forgotten or lost art. In others it is frowned upon by those who do not understand the importance of managing wildlife. Trapping is considered by most biologists, and wildlife managers as the best and most effective manner of removing excess populations of predators from the landscape.
Today on Christian Outdoors, we interview a professional trapper from my home state of South Carolina. Bill Smith is owner and operator of Coastal Land and Wildlife Services in the low country of South Carolina and his profession is exactly what we described. Removing excess predators from the landscape. We discuss how he does this, with some trade secrets and some unique techniques he uses to catch coyotes and bobcats. We also discuss his transformation into a follower of Jesus.
