I am just wonder how many thousand of these $30 beaver a guy has to catch to have money to give away in Canada.

I suppose it depends on what a person's other incomes are.

It says (FHA) my check was issued August 11th. Hope it didn't end up like my new debit card....stolen out of the mail and activated by a criminal this last weekend.... and my bank account wiped out.

But on the good side of things, I averaged $7.22 on 117 sold beaver after commissions taken out. WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!

X 2

Wouldn't the Willamette Valley be a paradise if you could wipe out all the criminals and dead-beats and their enablers...? Then beeverpeeler could truly live the blissful life with his post-castor $7 beav skins

The reason it keeps rolling in is because you have not been audited yet. Do you claim all your income for all the fur products you sell? To me it is clear that you are living the good life at the taxpayers expense. Do you claim the buildings you build to store your I’ll gotten gains too?

As for you Americans saying he is doing a great thing do you fleece the IRS too? America you are getting dumber by the hour. LLL

I really am starting to feel for LL. He is so miserable over his PT coon that he needs to try to make everybody on here equally miserable.

Pretty much says it all in this market.....if ya have money to give away, don't worry about the fur market.

I would expect that from you. You are part of the problem.

How does pointing out someone fleecing his government make you miserable unless you are doing the same. Oh America what has happened?

I for one am taking every possible legal deduction I can to offset the meager amount of income I make from trapping. Keeping as much of your earnings as is allowed is not fleecing your government.

I'm not going to engage you LL in a pee(ing) contest. I wish you nothing but a pleasant fall and winter. How's the ice fishing in Iowa?

I totally agree with legal deductions as long as you are claiming all your income. If not you are a criminal. LLL

Check arrived this A.M..

Got mine today. Good thing it was not windy!

With 4 pages of no sales listed it must have been double postage and with that weight how you had your back-brace on.

Best of luck all those that are going to set traps this coming season.

No it was a small check. All my furs except a horrible coyote are now in the pipeline somewhere.

Bryce

You sure are thick between the ears-read it again-all legal deductions as per small buisness allowed.
The govt here knows every pelt that I (and every other trapper) sell at auction or sell otherwise(as per mandatory harvest report)-royalty(tax) is paid on every single pelt when sold at auction or sent to a tanner.
The only time royalty(or any other taxes) is exempted is when harvested and sold by FN,or when kept for personal use.

You really have no clue LLL.

You tan your own. Where are those taxes paid? Someday you will be audited I hope, and then you will not be giving your money away except to lawyers. LLL

We are allowed to tan our own for use and sale and yes when our harvest reports are compared to submitted reports from furbuyers,or auctions,and an audit happens we have to account for any pelts not on the sales reports.This is done thru invoice copies to those pelts sold directly to the public.Only tanned fur can be sold to the public unless a member of the public has acquired a permit to posess a raw pelt,then a trapper can sell a raw skin to a member of the public.A permit to posess a pelt is issued no charge to a member of the public who wishes to buy a furbearer pelt from a trapper.The permit has the buyers and sellers info on it,and royalty is paid.
I deal with outfitters whose clients wish to have a furbearer's pelt and have sold raw wolves and lynx to american hunters thru the outfitter who obtains the permits to posess for his clients.

During the fur season the MNR will occasionally audit your fur as reported on hand (in your freezer or tanned for sale)to make sure what you have reported is correct.

The MNR also audits our registerd traplines once in a while for aihts compliance.

As a holder of 3 registerd traplines worth tens of thousands of dollars each in improvements,not to mention the yearly income potential from each,you would have to be a nut case to try to hide a few hundred dollars worth of fur sales and risk losing your trapping licences and traplines.

You really really have no clue do you,LOL.
