I stand by what I originally said which is give him some guidance, but don't do the work for him. There is a big difference between talking about what to look for with a coon in the attic or chimney and what's accepted work by the industry (i.e., sexing captured animals, checking teats for signs of nursing, removal of soiled materials, etc.) versus giving step by step instructions for finding, removing, trap selection, trap placement, bait selection, etc. We all know that while some of this will repeat itself it all is job site dependent.

Additionally, look at what you do to help your own business out with a different marketing strategy and marketing in areas you currently don't.

If he is really set on doing this, he is going to do it with or without your help. So love him like a brother but talk to him as if he's your competition.

Since you sound intelligent and you have pointed out that your brother isn't, I think a DNA test is in order.
