Episode 39: Jan Gustavsson Trapperlodge

This week, we head underground—literally.

Erik and Adam sit down with Jan Gustavsson, better known as Trapperlodge, one of Sweden’s most experienced den hunters and a finalist at this year’s Jaktgalan (Hunting Gala). Jan takes us deep into the world of fox and badger hunting with terriers, where precision, grit, and trust in your dog are everything.

We talk about:

– How Jan got started with Patterdales and the evolution of den work in Sweden

– What to do when a dog gets stuck underground

– Tools, tactics, and training

– Cultural connections to terrier work in both Sweden and the USA, with Adam sharing insights from Louisiana

From the forest floor to the heart of the den, this episode is packed with underground action and knowledge.
