Trap check laws in some States make that impossible today time wise.

Wisconsin's made it pretty difficult to almost impossible because you need permission at all road right-of-ways. Not trying to start anything. LOL
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Yep the fact is things never get easier when the new rules come down, a perfect set up would be a 3 day check run 2 lines and handle fur on the third day!
Let the games begin! LOL

I have no idea how that statement could offend you sorry if it di. You say there are probably a lot of 2000 coon a season trappers. My question is how many do you personally know? I don't know of anyone ever over five thousand. LLL

For years there were Longliners that would travel multiple counties mainly trapping raccoons and such.
Are there any left?
What changes have you made with the market the way it is?
B I have added a line and plan to open another. If people are going to stay home when prices are low then I will move in. Once I get in it is hard to get me out. LLL

With An average of $21.59 for Western Raccoon , and only 31 % selling; that is just 1550 out of 5000. $33,464.50. If all 5000 sold at $21.59, that would be $107,950.
A loss of $74,485.50. Anyone looking at those numbers, would not be impressed. Where is the loss? LLL

LL I believe canvasback is looking at it like a contractor. You figured you would clear/make $100,00 on a project but instead you only clear/make $80,000. That would be a loss of $20,000.

No that would be poor projection. If you are a retailer selling apples and you sell 31% of them on one day have you lost the other 69%? LLL

Read were Ray Milligan had three hundred predator traps set, got dumped on by two feet of snow. Went home and got another three hundred moved to a different area and set those. Picked the others up when the snow melted. How he could remember all the locations is beyond me. Course I can't get my head around making eighty to a hundred predator sets a day either.

In a couple of weeks me and my brother will be running 2- 150 mile lines spring beaver trapping. Is that long? At the end of each 16 hour day it feels long.

It may be all based on perspective and what we perceive as long... When I retire in 13 years, my dream is do a pseudo long line... and run what I can..
