Tired of Empty Traps and Wasted Time?

Predator trapping is a game of inches. Whether you’re protecting your livestock, managing your deer herd, or looking to master a new skill, the learning curve can be steep. You don’t need more "tips"—you need a proven system.

The Curriculum

 

 We’ve broken down decades of professional experience into 7 core pillars, taking you from a beginner to a confident predator manager.

  • 1. The Gear: Professional Tools, No Fluff   Stop wasting money on the wrong equipment. We show you the essential kit—from trap types to lures—that actually puts fur in the truck.

  • 2. Predator Concepts: Think Like Your Target   To catch a coyote, you have to understand one. Learn the biology, behavior, and "fear triggers" that dictate how predators move through your property.

  • 3. Set Location: The 10-Foot Rule   A perfect set in the wrong place is just a piece of buried metal. Learn how to identify the exact "pinch points" and travel corridors where predators are most vulnerable.

  • 4. Grounding the Trap: Solid Sets Only   A loose trap is a missed opportunity. We master the mechanics of bedding and anchoring your traps so they stay rock-solid until the trigger clicks.

  • 5. The "RPA 12": Our Signature Sets   Step-by-step walkthroughs of 12 distinct trap sets. Whether you’re dealing with red clay, frozen ground, or thick brush, you’ll have the right "play" for every scenario.

  • 6. Trapline Maintenance: The Daily Grind Made Easy   Efficiency is key. Learn how to manage your line, refresh your lures, and troubleshoot "smart" predators without spending all day in the woods.

  • 7. After the Catch: Professional Dispatch & Handling   The job isn't done when the trap is full. We provide ethical, safe, and professional guidance on dispatching and handling your catch with respect.

"Because of Rex Predator Academy I was able to take 10 coyotes and 1 bobcat off of my small, deer hunting ranch in my first season season ever trapping."

Michael Bailey

"Back-to-back catches on the same set in two days! My first coyotes ever! Tried to catch coyotes off and on the last few years with no luck. Y’all’s program works without a doubt!"

"I’ve watched all the videos and I’m impressed...I'm not trying to sugarcoat it - you do the best videos, you explain stuff in more detail than the other guys as you’re doing it."

Travis Flint

"Well everything was great about your course, I learned to trap at an early age and just now got back into it and you taught me new things and reminded me of old things. Easy to follow and go back to find it again. I caught multiple cats this season, and was having some trouble with 'yotes but caught 2 in the last week and one being my bucket list black coyote. Thank you!!!"

"I started using the RPA system and was catching predators my first week! There is nothing like the feeling of coming around the corner to see your first catch sitting there."
