How much coin do the real trappers make? Like Marty and others of that ilk. Does their life go to crap when fur prices dive.

The vast majority of them have other sources of revenue they can fall back on if need be.

Buck fiddy.

I tried to trap for work once, now I work so I can trap. It's a much more lucrative lifestyle this way.

Whats a "real trapper"?

Is a real trapper one who does year round Predator control full time?
Or how about the guy that buys a new truck every other year with his very much part time control work
Or those that have a bait and lure business?
Or Supply house
Stream or Televised showed
You tuber channels or traps and buys fur,,
or traps and sells a trapping product

A chosen lifestyle: money isnt isnt always the point
