Looks accurate, except I think less muskrats.I did near all the skinning, and put up.
Last couple years I was content to catch a 1000 in 50 days or under.
Give perspective on the money end, my accountant sent me a spread sheet on my cost for the last 4 fox trapping years, it was $39,092.I write off conventions, and any other lagitament expense.I have just over 3700 fox in storage.3 years in a row of a little over a thousand, and the last year of 719 in 35 days, cost me about $10.50 a piece, and can only ,maby get $6,lol

That right there is why Phil is a living legend in my mind, he is humble and works a plan for whatever animal he's after. Phil gets my total respect.

I can speak from experience. Once the coyotes move in the fox numbers WILL go down. If you went from catching a yote or two to 23 means they are moving in. Like it or not. And yes I am very impressed with the work ethics Mr Brown. To keep up the hard work year after year for little return is amazing.

Super job Mr Brown and thanks for the info. Kinda all averages out over the years. Did That 1202 fox year turn out good for you?
