Coonman….Trap to Jan 1 or so. Then try to get a job working for a Iowa fur company or even GWF company in ILL from January to March 31. You will need to bring your camper with you but you will be around the fur industry that you like. Skinning and fleshing. The GW brothers are good folks. I worked for them a few months back in the 1980’s when jobs were tough to find. Only reason I left was I needed better Insurance. But you could make enough money in 3 months than working all year. They would I bet work a deal out with you were they would cut you a check every week or 2 and not mess up your SS. That’s what I would do. It’s a very very interesting place to work. I bet you wound like it. I did , have very good memories working for GWF. Drive over and talked to them about it. MD

Well Groeny is a poster on here so maybe he'll read this and clear up if he hires all Mexicans and pays low wages. Coonman seems to be in the know on the workings of GFW. I have no idea how though. Maybe one of the regulars could send Groeny a PM so he reads this and if he'll offer up a job to coonman. Possible liason between HR and the crew.??

Dave, You seem to have the gift to read people and form your impressions rather quickly. You know you are a hard worker and what lazy workers look like. You know that you don't care for some minorities and certain ethnicities. You don't trust what others have tried hundreds of times to explain to you about trapping, ROW's and market prices etc., etc. And, you know when people are lying about what jobs pay per hour. So, I guess the obvious question is: Why don't you apply for a position in Human Resources?
