That is what you can claim as a business expense for all trapping related mileage. If you don't keep those records and you are getting paid for catching the animals then you can negotiate a fee that the person can pay you or you wish to charge. If you can't or won't come up with a transportation cost or fee just ask more for setting up or catching. Bryce

When he hesitated I asked him how much he had invested in his hunting gear. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.
