Client Lockhart would ask you, "How would your beaver control instruction be different/better than what is already on the market?
Chuck I posted to see if there is a need. I don't know what is out there. I would reply by saying I was first taught how to trap by a state nuisance trapper that really knew his stuff. I would include a well rounded, diverse, system of year round beaver control.I would also cover dam removal and water drainage. How to deal with summer beaver ( there are a lot of great cold weather trappers. but I see most people struggle with summer beaver.) I could show people what I learned the hard way. what I think the best way to run an efficient, successful, ADC business without wasting years, time and money getting there. Also how to get and keep business along with how to keep a good reputation. I could ramble on but I'm not on here to advertise, just wondered if they were in short supply. I might consider the instruction side of the business. Ive turned down people over the years because they lived a little too close and I didn't want any competition. but if they were far enough away I'd consider it.

but I see most people struggle with summer beaver. Not after watching Pauls "Summertime Beaver Control" video. It sure helped me!

I'd take comments and suggestions with a grain of salt, you'll never know unless you attempt it, you could learn a lot from the many folks that failed:). Some will say don't bother they tried it blah blah, well good for them, maybe your the exception. If you really have a passion and a little time where you're not going to put yourself in the poor house, the risk may be worth the reward. If you move forward in your decision, don't rule out a service with a donation option, you'll be surprised at how many honest trappers and up and coming trappers would put a few bucks in it for knowledge. Then go from there, internet has really hurt the type of business where you're trying to collect a fee for information which most people can obtain online through these forums. Who knows, you could be offering information that most need to pay for, and once people catch on and you build an audience, the sky's the limit. Good Luck!
