Getting interesting

Obviously you are not in business doing this type of work. If you were you would not be asking this question. Therefore you should not try to create the illusion that you are in the business to retroactively collect payment for non-business services.

There are big differences between fur trapping, hobby trapping, long-line fur trapping, nuisance wildlife trapping, and predator management trapping.

When Swamp Wolf or Savell or Steeltraps or others graciously create a ridealong or singalong it can look fun and easy. But running a business and doing this for a living gets very real. People skills, perceptions, marketing, and agreements are important.

There is too much to know to type here.

Just gonna throw this out there, but let’s say I trap 1000 acre fish farm. For one month. And I catch six otters, 50 coon, 50 mink, 50 possum, and 20 beavers. Let’s say that adds up to $500 that I would get from a local for sale. Do you think that the owner of the fish farm would add a $500-$1000 worth of compensation for low fur prices(catching just those six otter probably saved $800-$1000 of fish in one month)? If so how would you approach the owner for that compensation?
(FYI: friend of mine pointed out that otter eat probably 4 to 5 pounds of fish a day)
