I don't understand why a job has to be only what you're qualified in. If it's crisis time, any job will do until the qualified job comes available. I just don't understand the mindset that it has to be only one kind of job or nothing.

I run a shovel my whole life.
Started off on the RR shovelling crushed rock and pit run gravel in summer and snow in winter.
If you're a Canuck you are pretty much born with a shovel in your hand for removing snow.
And yes there is a correct way to heave a heavy shovel full of wet snow all day long without ruining your back or having a heart attack.

Yea,,thats the spirit! At $3.80 average for green coon,,the money will start piling up in no time.And don't spend good money on some fancy tent,,when a tarp will do just fine.

Millennials. "This is my profession and this is the amount of compensation I expect. Oh, and I'll expect a promotion in my first year."

Heck just go beat up the mayor, get free room and board at the local klink, three squares a day and ask for work release to rid town of problem furbearers. Obviously apologize to the mayor or this plan will never work. Or work any job out there and get on your feet so you can trap again.

Hey, all,

I lost my job on Wednesday. I'm going to have to go stay with my mother while I job hunt, who is a wonderful person, but is anti-trapping. She lives in an apartment in a fast-growing, wealthier area than the poor rural area I've been living in for the past year. The trapping season in North Carolina goes until February 28 and beaver trapping goes until March 31. I caught my first coon of the season on game land just before I lost my job. I want to keep trapping this season, but I am uncertain now of how to do it logistically. I may be able to find trapping opportunities on private land in the area I'm moving to, or else I can trap on the game lands in the area. But how am I going to put up fur? I can't do the fur handling in my mother's apartment like I could at my own house. The only solution I can see is, if I catch fur on game land, I could do the skinning at my trap sites or at a game land campground and maybe also the fleshing. I don't know how I'm going to put up the fur, unless I can rent some kind of storage shed or else convince my mother to let me use a spare room in the apartment.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thank you!

If you have a local buyer,,sell in the round.Or,,skin out on the line and sell in the grease.

Sometimes it's like jumping in a tank of piranhas around here, lol.
