Per skunk?

If you are serious about making money or running it as a real business, you will need to charge a fee to look at the job, a fee to set it up, a fee to return and then a per skunk.

Or at least something along those lines. The average fur trapper loses money doing work on other people's problems

If you are working for a "town" chances are, you will be required to have some sort of liability insurance. Even if they don't require it, I wouldn't set a trap on town property with out it.

All of the municipalities that we have worked for over the years have required a copy of our liability insurance and many asked for a copy of our workers comp policy. They won't carry you on their liability in our state as of yet.
