Peterson Furs

Peterson Furs   (605) 482-8131

Peterson Furs was founded in 1994 by Steve (Pete) Peterson. There was a need for a local fur buyer in Ramona and the surrounding areas. Located on Pete and Sue Peterson’s rural Ramona farm the business has grown into much more than just a place to drop off furs.

Peterson Furs now carries a full line of trapping supplies and offers a wide variety of services to the trapper and fur harvester. Peterson Furs buys raw and finished fur, hides, offers custom tanning services and is a Fur Harvester Auction Receiving Agent since 2003. We offer a fair honest aproach to fur buying.

Pete is a member of the FTA, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and National Trappers Associations. We urge you to support your State and National trapping organizations to insure the future of trapping !

Reuwsaat’s Bait and Lure

Reuwsaat’s Bait and Lure   (605) 877-6911

I am from Western South Dakota and I am a full time trapper.  I left the Corporate world in 2011 to make the transition to become a full time trapper.  Being  a multi Species Professional Trapper all these products have been used and proven successful for me.  This transition allowed me to take the next step in producing my bait and lure line that I have been using privately for several years.  Due to past success and phenomenal catches this line has extensive results in multiple states.  It is my extreme pleasure to offer these products to all trappers and outdoorsman across the Nation so you too can reach your goals.

These Bait and Lure Recipes have been developed by me while observing actual predators on my trap line.  Having the opportunity to be a full time trapper, trapping in multi states I have been fortunate enough to observe predator behavior at a set location and make adjustments to my formulas,  to help hold the animal at the set longer.  This allows all of us a greater opportunity to capture our targeted animal.

This is a family owned and operated business.

Thanks again for visiting and Good Luck on the line, may your chains be tight.

No BS Lures

NO-BS Lures   (641)-228-0050

Hello Fellow Trappers,

I would like to thank all my customers for making NO-BS Lures a success and creating the need for this website! I have been trapping now for over 30 years, starting when I was 7 and at age 16 running long lines during and after school. During the early years I wasn’t satisfied with the design and overall results of the “standard” traps and at age 20 I started modifying them and making my own bait. Making something not only different but better means a superior product for you and like our motto says “The Proof Is In The Catch!”

Everything on this website comes from years of testing, tweaking, and using it on my lines, and as you can see in the photos…successfully. Coon trapping lessons are now available and I personally will come on your line in the summer and help make the catch which provides a more customized approach for your trapping needs. New this year is the exciting “Glow In The Dark” coon bait, the first ever in the market as well as several other baits, lures, and accessories. I will be conducting seminars at the Minnesota and National Convention so stop by and say hello. Looking forward to hearing from you about the product and send any photo for use on the website and future catalogs. Hope you have a great season and the best of luck.

I have been making baits and lures since 1985, having learned from one of the best, Ron Hansen, who learned from one of the best, Bill Nelson. After ten years of working with baits and lures with Ron, I made his baits and lures while he was running his painting and gardening business in the summertime.

I have over 45 years of trapping experience.
I have taken mink and fox trapping lessons from one of Iowa’s GREATS, Bud Hall. Also, coyote and beaver snaring lessons from the Clark brothers from Nebraska. Coon trapping and Lure and Bait making lessons from Ron Hansen. And coyote and bobcat lessons from Craig O’Gorman on two different occasions.

KCB&L features several baits and lures of my own formula along with Ron and Bill’s deadly lures. All of my baits and lures have been time tested. Give them a try and you won’t regret it. Check out my specials.

Kansas Trapline Products

Kansas Trapline Products   (660)-641-3682

Since the conception of this business, I have strived to not become one of the status quo. The products that you find in this store reflect my beliefs on what I want to use on the trapline. I enjoy making a buck the same as anyone, but not at your expense! The baits and lures that I make are not an internet copied formulation that anyone can make. These are developed in my lure room and tested on my own personal trapline.   I want you to have the best product, and I want you to have great success using these products.

I receive calls every week from trappers all across the United States thanking me for increasing their fur harvest using the same products that are available to you. In addition to offering you quality products for your trapline, I also have written a couple of books and produced a video that show my methods that have raised the bar in terms of content and quality.  My book “One Square Mile” has become one of the “must own books” in the trapping industry according to leading trappers in various parts of the country. Its content is unique to other trapping books, and has literally changed thousands of trappers methods when pursuing fur. My DVD is 3 hours of trapline instruction filmed in HD, and the sound quality is second to none. In the video, I explain my sets and location in detail to better serve you.

My reward is your success, and the best trappers in the world use these products.  Please look around, and if you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call! Until then, Good Trapping! Ed Schneider

Papio Creek Trapping Supply

Visit our website

Papio Creek Trapping Supply is owned by Shane and Nancy Claeys of Blair, Nebraska.

Shane developed a love for hunting and trapping at a young age, skills that were passed down to him by his father Jim, his dear friend Joe, as well as a few old time hunters and trappers in his hometown of Bennington, Nebraska.

Shane spent a big part of the 1980s, trapping along the Niobrara and Missouri River bordering Nebraska and South Dakota. Each year, October through March, longlining in a four wheel drive, a snowmobile, a flat bottom boat and on foot — was what he loved to do and quickly discovered he could make a pretty good living at it during those lean economic times.

Because of Shane’s trapping experiences, many of the products we offer are designed with the longliner trapper in mind. Products that save time, are reasonably priced and will allow you to set your traps quickly, locate them in a hurry and most importantly, increase your capture rate — because there’s nothing more frustrating and disappointing than a snapped trap with nothing in it.

We are confident our products are going to bring you more furs. Period.

We encourage you to try our products and judge for yourself. There are no re-do’s when it comes to earning your business, so we want to get it right.

We will do everything we can to make you a successful trapper — because you deserve nothing less.

Papio Creek appreciates what you do. Thank you for your valued business.

Fur Season Is Upon Us, But The Experts Say Not So Fast

The famous line used by ESPN College Football analyst Lee Corso could be applied to fur season, “Not so fast, my friend”.

Even though the Nebraska fur harvest season officially starts November 1st for most furbearers, the experts are saying hold off and use some restraint.

In a facebook post from October 27th, 2016, Greg Petska of Petska fur, says “Coon market very Weak yet. We are only going to buy better colors and better sizes from better sections for between $1-4. Don’t want any coon taken before thanksgiving.

Fur primes up based on the amount of daylight and some say it is affected by the temperature.  If such is the case, the unseasonably warm October temperatures have not helped it any.

According to information posted on Groenewold Fur and Wool Company’s website, prices are flat for raccoon, beaver and muskrats.  In a nutshell it looks like not a lot has changed from last year.

Be selective and start later.  Get a catch pole and learn to use it.  The warm temperatures offer a good opportunity to go out and do some extra scouting.  Take your shotgun with you and take advantage of our rebounding upland game bird populations.

It will be here before you know it.
