I don't want any leading from government officials and so called experts making any laws that affect my or your personal life. I am a free American citizen and I should be able to travel and pursue and enjoy anything that anyone else can do legally. If I so choose to skydive or smoke a pipe or trap hunt or fish ; the government or other people should not be looking for me to break their law . Mind your own business. You are just as big of a sinner as I am. Worry about your own things in life and be happy with what God gives you. Keep the government out of the problems. Settle your problems, one on one and don't try to control the big picture. Try to find happiness for your fellow man. Don't worry about if he is one step ahead or behind. The only one in total control is the good Lord. He will bring you peace and happiness.

Right,get rid of all borders everywhere,let all people go and do what they want where they want,let God sort them out lol.

I am sure the people that settled this country were not dependent upon the government. Now we are hoping the government will tell us how to be civilized and jail us with their laws and taxes. Freedom in this earthly world is living with Jesus Christ in the spiritual world.

The people that settled this country created the government and its laws and taxes. Good or bad, that's the way it happened.

"....................certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,"

The last free people were the Indians before contact.
And it was brutal.
There are no truly free people today.
Civilization ended that.

Well said, Boco.

In Butcher's Union Co. v. Crescent City Co., 111 U.S. 746, 762 (1884), J. Bradley in his concurring opinion, stated in part, " The right to follow any of the common occupations of life is an inalienable right, it was formulated as such under the phrase 'pursuit of happiness' in the declaration of independence..."

In Vivian I. Volvar, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Fishers Island Lobstermen's Association, Inc., Fishers Island Conservancy, Inc., Movant-Amici Curiae (2003), United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, citing several SCOTUS rulings, stated, " The right to pursue a lawful calling has long been recognized as a fundamental right, see, e.g., Allgeyer v. Louisiana, 165 U.S. 578, 589, 17 S.Ct. 427, 41 L.Ed. 832 (1897)
( The 'liberty' mentioned in [ the Fourteenth Amendment ] is deemed to embrace the right of the citizen to be free in the enjoyment of all his faculties; to be free to use them in all lawful ways; to live and work where he will; [ and ] to earn his livelihood by any lawful calling; to pursue any livelihood or avocation."), and one that is protected by the Privileges and Immunities Clause. see Hicklin, 437 U.S. at 524, 98 S.Ct. 2482 ( Clause protects nonresident against discriminatory regulation of ability " to ply their trade, practice their occupation, or pursue a common calling within the State."); United Bldg., 465 U.S. at 219, 104 S.Ct. 1020 ( " Certainly, the pursuit of a common calling is one of the most fundamental of those privileges protected by the Clause. Many, if not most, of our cases expounding the Privileges and Immunites Clause have dealt with this basic and essential activity.") (citation omitted)." See, Allgeyer v. Louisiana, 165 U.S. 578 (1897); Hicklin v. Orbeck, 437 U.S. 518 (1978); United Building Trades v. Mayor of Camden, 465 U.S. 208 (1984).

These are known as your Freedom of Choice - aka your "pursuit of happiness," and it applies to your constitutional rights as a lawful commercial fur harvester.

Gabby, you gonna be the first to head over to Wisconsin and take advantage of this forgotten right..or you just hoping to stir the masses enough that someone else will do your bidding..? Asking for a friend

Midlander, don't you have one single contribution to make to the betterment of fur harvesting? I am at least trying to educate people to the legal fact that they have rights under the constitution if they qualify for them. I'm telling everybody what those in positions of authority don't want you to know and understand. What I am telling you goes much further than just applying to commercial fur harvesting. This information applies to all forms employment.

What are you hiding by your deflections? Are you afraid of competition? You don't think you are good enough to out trap a nonresident on your own turf? What you should be asking about is why aren't the NTA, the FTA, or the NTF fighting for your constitutional rights to work as a commercial fur harvester, predator control operator, beaver control operator, or just a general nuisance wildlife control operator in any State in the Nation that accords (allows) that same right to their own citizens?

COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE definition | Cambridge English Dictionary
1 week ago - a business or activity that is involved in buying and selling goods and services, in order to make a profit:

Selling fur is revenue. Revenue minus expenses is profit. No intention to make profit equals hobby.

IMHO engaging in a commercial activity does not make you a commercial trapper (Commercial enterprise).

"A hobby is any activity that a person pursues because they enjoy it and with no intention of making a profit. People operate a business with the intention of making a profit. Many people engage in hobby activities that turn into a source of income. However, determining if that hobby has grown into a business can be confusing."

Gabby, no disrespect intended, but I get the feeling if there was anything to what you are saying, it would have been fleshed out a long time ago. It feels like a sovereign citizen post to me, quoting all kinds of bs about the constitution and not needing drivers licenses and free 'travel' and bla bla bla...and at the end of the day, they get their arse thrown in jail.
