Any trappers here??
Join the cause, let me explain why its a great self sustaining interest that pays for itself.
>get to see wild animals up close
>explore uninhabited areas and scenic country
>get to shoot guns
>meet interesting mountain folk
>become an interesting mountain person
>Get to use and be proficient with knives
>$$$$$$$$$$$ (Racoons this past year could bring up to $20 a piece and are plentiful most everywhere. muskrats are $10 almost and can be found in huge numbers. Beavers are large and stupid and can be caught easily and bring ok money)
>Frontier lifestyle and you get to go to conventions and rendezvous's
>After one good season, everything is paid for and its all profit after
>People dont realize this one but, the 30 feet or so between the shoulder of the road and the closest fence is PUBLIC PROPERTY in about 75% of locales. Aka, you can trap there, and they are full of raccoon.
>In a doomsday scenario, it is one of the most successful low maintenance ways to gather food or pelts
>you can do it whenever you have time, weekends, before school, after work, etc.
Ask a trapper anything. We need more support and people with us with all the peta crap floating around anymore.
