Very well done! Gotta be plenty warm

Hate to say it but it's getting harder and harder to just do it for the love of the game. I started out doing it for profit. As years went by started trapping more for the love of it. Last several years have been spent growing a business in this industry so the "for profit " is now again mostly why I trap. I have a true passion for piling up coon. There's nothing like it to me but it's not what pays the bills. Being from the south, we can't give our coons away. Last year I made more money on G-hogs than coon if that tells you anything. Beaver are my #1 money maker so I'll be hitting them for sure. Probably won't fool with anything else as far as fur goes.
The way it's looking now I'll probably end up spending more time toting a rifle through the darkness eradicating hogs for people than I will setting traps. Kinda bums me out but that's the world of today.
Kudos to you folks still doing it just because you love to.

And I thought Beaver Trappers were hard to break of their habit. At least beaver have a castor gland to market ! ! ! ! ........................... the mike

I'll catch some because it's part of what I do. They won't get wasted have a couple outlets for them and have been putting some tanned ones away for a blanket

No, although a land manager hit me up yesterday about trapping coon off 3000 acres or so. He asked me to come up with a dollar figure per coon. If he is good with my price I may have to dig out the coon equipment lol

I've had somwthing similiar a few times, if you don't mind, what is a fair $ amount in your eyes, feel free to pm me

If our numbers look good I might actually try and catch a few.

I’m going to tell him $15 each.
It won’t be hard to catch 25 to 30 a day for several days off this property.
I won’t be skinning them.

I get $25 per small critter. I have a real job and this is just for turkey money.

I know that I can take 250 to 300 coon off this property. I have in the past while fur trapping. Only this time I won’t have the time and effort of hauling them home and skinning them. It’s standing corn, water, and pin oak timber and all very accessible. I’ll do everything off a side by side. And it’s 10 miles from home. $15 will work at this place.

Holy cow, I don’t have that many on all the properties I trap, lol. 250-300 is a pile of coons, and that ain’t counting possums you’ll encounter. Sounds like good money to me! Good luck!

I'll be after them.
