smithco, here I go again, giving my speech. I am very proud of your dad for taking the time to teach you. My father wasn't a trapper, but he was a farmer. ( I hope your Tennessee farmers are not as cheap as our Wisconsin farmers )
My son was an athlete and although he hunted with me when he could, he was way more interested in sports. He did pay for his entire college education by working for us during the summer. It did shock me when he graduated from college and decided to join our company, which he now runs.
What I am trying to say, is if you love trapping and want to make a career of it, good for you. But do it right. Get good grades in high school, go to college and take courses like business administration and communication. If you're going to be an ADC guy in Tennessee, be the best ADC guy that Tennessee has ever seen.

Ok you guys thanks for the input. A lot of the farmers around here don't have a lot of money so I was thinking $75 initial cost. Then I was thinking $40-$50 for coyotes. Paul do i have to do a test like the hunter education class or is it like you apply for it then they accept/deny you. You are correct about most farmers don't have a lot of money floating around. But that can be used to your advantage. They also can't afford to withstand heavy losses from predators. A conversation about what his losses have been in the past year will give you an idea of what he can afford to pay you. If you can show him that he will end up way ahead in money after paying you your fee, he will then have an easy decision to make. Carl
