Most trappers focus on out of pocket expenses and don’t consider time expense when calculating profit. Is fur profitable at this time for anyone? I believe hobby income must be claimed without the benefit of expense write off because a hobby is not considered a business and/or structured for profit?
Good point. PIck up another job and most would be money ahead. Trapping is a hobby now (like golf), not a real source of income.

Get a garden spot ready soon, Coonman. It is amazing how much produce you will get off a small plot. I know you have knee problem. Just the soft soil will provide a cushion. Are you still getting beaver? Save all the meat as it is delicious. Even the heart, kidneys, and liver are special in a stew. Save, save, and save some more!

Seeds are every where right now at Thiesens, Walmart, etc. Go to recycle place and get newspapers to lay down in between rows and then take all your grass clippings and place on papers. Saves you from weeding.

I always grow a big garden but I'm fortunate to have the land and equipment. But I have one friend who lives on the side of a steep hill and he grows his garden in 5 gallon buckets on his deck. And I'm talking about probably 10 different veggies all in buckets. Even corn. I'm sure you can find some old buckets for free I put in a good sized garden,,but also always plant a deck garden in buckets.Cukes,Cherry tomatoes,beans peas,all kinds of stuff.That is so my wife and grandkids can just step out on the deck and pick fresh vegges any time they want.

Yes the chicken are great. I am a big fan of onion rings as well as sliced tomatoes but I love spinach and cabbage. So many ways to eat cabbage but that is my German heritage coming out there. LLL

Those are pictures from past seasons but I do the same thing annually. I enjoy it and can and eat what we need and give away the rest. LLL
