Trust between the client and the trapper is paramount for this strategy to work. A muskrat is easy to catch. The last one? Not so much.

Did it for the rats since it was in season and it was a new place to trap. Only caught 4 but it solved the problem. Later he gave me $100 for catching them saying it would have cost him much more than that to fix his driveway. Got $2.50 from the fur buyer6 and $25.00 from my neighbor per rat plus a new place to trap next season. Not bad I would say. Last edited by 20scout; 03/14/20 06:45 PM.

I did 1 for minimal price last year for a friend of a friend and the doors it opened up for me was unreal.
