>>867788Different anon but would like to add some to this post because some anons will likely be curious on catching these numbers. It isn't as easy as buy traps and go catch these large numbers of fur. You MUST HAVE WORK ETHIC. The guys that catch those numbers are hands down some of the hardest workers you will EVER meet, they don't trap for two months and have 10 months of vacation. They are working their asses off 24/7/52. They also spent years establishing their lines and honing their skills when prices were low so when the prices went back up they reaped in the rewards very well. It isn't a 9-5 job, some of the pros are literally running 18-24 hours a day some days because they know it's the only way to catch a thousand fox or 5,000+ rats or 2,000 coon or 500 coyotes in a season. Pic related, you just got done running your line for 12+ hours pulling and moving sets , 20+ beaver(that's a decent day on a beaver line but FAR from a GREAT day, you wouldn't believe a GREAT day on a line...) an otter and some rats. Now it's time to skin these critters. Are you a fast skinner? 10 min average per beaver, that average includes unloading the beaver from the truck, sharpening knives and all the little things, yes people can skin beaver in just 3 minutes but they likely will not keep up that average. Not a fast and efficent? 20 or 30 minute average. Then the rats and otter. Then you have to get your truck and equipment ready for the next day.
