Trappers seem to be a diverse bunch. Just curious what everyone does for a living. I have a lawn mowing business and drive semi hauling grain for a farmer. I hauled 700,000 bushels of corn and beans to market last year.

Semi retired.

I fill in for employees on vacation at a local trucking company. I also do pickups and deliveries 2 days a week for a local hardware store. I do ADC work. I create oil paintings from client photos. I play in a band. I'm in the process of setting up a greenhouse as a side business. I'm one step closer to my dream of a Christian summer camp for kids and winter camp for trappers that wish to experience "The Eastern Shore."

You might say "I'm living the dream."

Been retired for six months.
I still build a cabinet or piece of furniture once in a while and do some building and remodeling for a friend that I have worked part time for for the past 35 years or so. We're both getting a little old for building houses or anything major these days.

For 20 years I put on a suit every morning working with large international companies from Germany then Japan traveled way too much, so I made a dramatic change and became a remodeling contractor. The health issues forced me to semi retire so now for the past 4 years I have been growing a ADC business and trapping all winter long for fun/fur


Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

I'm fully retired now.Did some part time work driving a delivery truck for a while.
I think I'm pretty good at this retirement thing.
I hunt, fish,and trap when ever I want to.Can't ask for anything better than that.

In my real life I sold truck and trailer parts for 44 years.

This is a cool thread, neat to see what everyone does for a living. I work on a ranch that is owned by a universtiy, so we do a lot of cattle nutrition research, sheep nutrition research, repro physiology stuff, brush control work, blahblahblah. Coolest thing I've done in my 12 years here is fly in a helicopter and catch deer and antelope to put on collars for some wildlife research. HELICOPTERS ARE AWESOME. But most of the time I'm just a rancher. You know, feed the cows and sheep, fix the fence, break the ice, oh yeah and trap as much as I can. Happy trapping!!

Union production operator at a chemical plant. I've been there almost 6 years now. I'm a commercial and residential painter by trade though. Painted my whole life. I started doing grunt work at 11yrs old, and stuck with it until I got my current job. Ran my own painting company for 5 years.

Worked as a carpenter for many years. Taught carpentry at a technical school for 23 years. Retired from teaching. Do code enforcement work, part time for a couple towns, so end up working several hours a week at that. Raise quality Labs, will add high end German Shepard pups for sale to the business in about a year. Have a kennel were we train dogs and board some. Do some private hire dog consultations and training.
Do some writing. Do ADC some in the summer.
Have a few more irons in the fire concerning the dog business for the future
Oh ya, do sled dog tours in the winter.
Trap some in fur season but sometimes not as much as I would like.
Never ever bored. Never.

Fish and wildlife technician on and off. Trapping is my job right now and I enjoy my work. Did almost every job there is to do since I was 15. Sure miss those $12000 per month jobs when the oil companies were around.

I am an H2O Repurification Technician ( AKA sewer Rat) for nearby city. I work in the Board of Public Works wastewater treatment plant. Also the back up Compost site operator. Work full time just for the health insurance. I also weld at home in a side business. Making tomato cages from galvanized cattle panels each spring is what pays for my hunting trips in the fall. I do a little ADC trapping in the spring,summer and fall. I have a small business called Double J Outdoors where I do some guiding (mostly nite predator hunts) and also sell Nite Lite Brand lites and some trapping supplies. Every now and then I'll build some live traps for local sale. And I am doing some unique art made from steel and junk iron. Hope to do more after I retire. smile smile

I am a finish carpenter by trade and have always done carpentry and hay farming, however last year and a half I find myself in an office job, wholesaling pipe and parts to plumbers and excavators for a Northwest wholesale company. Looking to get back to carpentry and start my own furniture business here pretty soon.

14 years as an Underground coal miner, 3 years prior to that I was a pipeliner, and for 2 years prior to that I was a Wildlife biologist technician. Just interviewed for a gas company job, so I have my fingers crossed for no more rotating shifts.

DT with AT&T...10 more years and I’ll have 30 at 60 and “plan” on retiring and working on the plantation I trap for now. I told them I want $10hr plus hunting/trapping rights. I already get to hunt/trap there so all they have to do is come up with $10hr, lol.

Geographer and historian, U.S. land use is my gig.

"Household" gets most of my money so for a little extra spending cash I do ebay & craiglist sales, metal recycling, a little garden selling, a little trapping. God willing, I plan to retire from the day job at the end of 2025. We'll see what's next after that...

Guess I should’ve mentioned I’m a marine veteran as well. Surprised there aren’t any other farmer/Ranchers? Full time anyway, seems normal to me in my country but I guess aren’t many people that make there living off it without a side gig/day job. Come to think of it if I was smart I’d have a side gig instead of trying to learn how to trap......

Over the years I had about every job in the book, all the while hoping to build up enough of a clientele to go full time as a taxidermist. I did nothing but taxidermy (except fur/ADC trapping) from '87 on. Before that it was taxidermy and seasonal tech/Conservation Aide for the agency now called the Natural Resources Conservation Service, an offshoot of the USDA. I also did stints as a pulp cutter, pallet bolt mill-hand, carpenters helper/builder, garbage man, construction laborer, well driller's gopher, land survey crew rodman, Youth Corps supervisor, tree-planter, factory rat (injection molding plant), factory rat (metal stamping plant), and general farm laborer. I am now officially retired and spend my day as the care-giver of my Bride who is fighting M.S. tooth and nail. She is my hero.

Did just plain factory work for a few years. Then I had my own electrical contracting business for a few years. A pretty bad car wreck, they gave me last rights in the hospital, caused me to lose that. I then got another factory job. I worked in maintenance doing welding, carpentry, plumbing, fixing machines (mainly printing presses), stuff like that. I am retired now. I enjoy baking. I just made two pumpkin rolls today.
