Can't sell them if they don't have them!
I trap for fun. So sue me!
I'll also find a way to sell at least some stuff.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

You should probably enter your resignation to the temp agency on November 1st and give fur buying a whirl Dave. If you buy them all for a $3 average you can make a $1.50 per coon before you factor your time to put them up!

The freezers, electricity, and storage should be cheap. Now is your time to shine Dave I’ve been waiting for it! Go make that bread.

So many things are wrong here. Dave how much do you think you can make on 3.00 coon? I still think that is high by the way. I won't skin a coon for 3.00. You have all the expenses in your vechile and gas. What if the vechile breaks down? Spend more fix vechile than make trapping and skinning all season long. I may haul grain for a buddy of mine or maybe not. Deer hunting and pheasant are good too. LLL

Nah, just not independently wealthy, I kid, I kid.

I hear what you are saying though. If I could find five hundred to a thousand rats this winter within a hundred miles of my house I'd be after them. If not I'm a gonna wet a line or shoot some coyotes.

I make more money sitting in a tree stand and tossing out a line. There's the difference. No money in trapping. The other work pays way better. I'm no longer interested in subsidizing the mighty fur industry. You can be one of them suckers.

FHA normally posts a "Sold Catalog" about 2 to 3 weeks after a sale. Last one took several months. Theoretically these days it should only take a couple of days since the Sold Catalog looks a lot like the Catalog with all those no sales. smile

Oh my.

The dreaded value of experience. Whenever I hear a DNR body use that term I figure opportunity will be curbed.
