On today's show I am speaking with Peter Dalton. Peter owns the company, "Hunt Country Wildlife Removal" in Loudoun County, Virginia. This is a side business that kind of started by accident. Peter taught himself how to trap, and along the way started trapping for friends and neighbors when they had nuisance animals. Pretty soon he was doing a lot of trapping, and he finally started charging people for the service.
Through word of mouth the business has grown and grown. Peter is very busy with this side business these days, and he and his wife are also developing their farmstead. He has a lot of great advice on equipment to use, how to work in urban areas and what you can do in rural areas. I learned about a method of trapping foxes and coyotes in the episode that I never heard about, and you will benefit from this as well!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
