What are your maximum travel limits when doing beaver control work? I know if the money is there, then travel distance is mute. I do beaver control work throughout my state. I tell people my motto is, "if someone has the money, I have the time and traps". I'm working on getting a travel trailer to set up at work sites. I usually can find lodging nearby. Usually a deer camp or such verses a local motel.
I'd like to hear from fellow ADC guys on how far will you go for a one time job or a contracted maintenance site / sites.

SGT.C, the reason that you haven't gotten the response that you would like, is because I suppose, that no one is sure of what the going price for beaver trapping is, in your area of South Carolina.
I will tell you that we rarely like to travel more than 30 miles or thirty minutes for anything. And that includes beaver. This has always been our thought on the subject of long travel distances; If I'm going down to the Illinois border to trap beaver, I can't take the beaver calls that are three miles away.
This scenario isn't any different if you are the only employee of your company, or one of many. If I had my way, I would trade every competitor for jobs. Why should I travel 30 miles to a competitor's backyard? If he can't do the job properly, he will be out of business very shortly anyway. The object is to make a profit and to be solvent when the next customers calls.

I have traveled over 200 miles one way. I always get a nice motel and eat like a king. Key is to set HARD,,,, aka over set.
