The mechanics of profitable beaver management were part of the lessons shared. Don LaFrance, Bob Noonan, Kirk Dekalb, David Vinke, and others with Ron Jones.
Th official podcast lasted nearly 2.5 hours and then we went into a post show and went another 1.5 hours (not recorded). Ron Jones the host came in late due to service truck problems at the end of the day so a non beaver trapper started the show.Robb started the show and doing a bio on Don LaFountain which grew into 2 1/2 hour discussions with Bob Noonan, of Main and editor of Trapper’s Post Magazine, Mike Page of NH and FL, David Vinke of Washington, Kirk Dekalb Georgia, David McLeod Georgia, Carlton Tripp of ME, even Buzzard stopped in.
Just about everything you can imagine came up in the podcast but the one message was how to find potential beaver business and whats needed to get the work done. In many cases its not just the trapping but the massive construction and exclusion related work you can do that can prove lucrative if you really understood beaver management and protecting high dollar customer accounts and saving them $$$ too.
I got a call last Thursday from my good friend and buddy and fellow trapper Ron Jones of South New Jersey. Ron is a veteran podcaster with The Wildlife Pro Network and announced that he and veteran beaver trapper Don La Fountain have agreed on doing a beaver trapping podcast for WpN . Visit Don’s web site.
If you have never heard any of Ron’s podcasts before this will be his 24th Podcast with us . You can listen to a collection of all of Jonesies podcasts here.
This will be our first Thursday podcast of the 2012 Podcast Season !!
I know of Don LaFountain and he was an early registrant on The Wildlife Pro Network but have never had the pleasure to have a discussion with Don and personally looking forward to this Thursday Nights Podcast.
Ron and Don plan on talking about the business side of running a commercial beaver management company like Don’s company. Integrated Wildlife Control offers comprehensive beaver control services. With over 20 years [1992] of experience we are able to offer expert assessment and education regarding beaver conflicts as well as a variety of options for immediate and, more importantly, long-term resolution. We specialize in full management plans for beaver conflicts, offering trapping and habitat modification with all necessary permitting. Culvert protective fences and pond-leveling pipes are often cost-effective and long-term solutions to beaver-related flooding.
Don and Ron will be joined by Bob Noonan, former WCT Magazine Editor and veteran Beaver Trapper in Maine, Beaver Trapper Beaver Man Kirk Dekalb of Moultrie Ga, Trapper Mike Page of New Hampshire now Florida, and the promise of more beaver trapper veteran guests.
