I use to trap when I was in high school. I would like to get back in it but there is not much out here to trap.

Y'all got it rough too. The commiefornia libs that moved into your state have outlawed the use of most traps. You're a cage only state for the most part.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Really difficult to get permits to trap here in Washington State. Always thought it would be cool to try.

I'm looking for that to be the next service I'm going to have to offer. Believe it or not the stinking pigs are now being seen in Metro Atlanta. I guess when I do I'll have need for the second freezer. LOL |

Back when I had an antique shop I bought "estates" I purchased a house full of old furniture about 25 years ago and in the drawers of the chifferobe I found the previous owner's "journals" Every time he went to town, bought anything, planted anything, or harvested or sold anything he wrote it down in his journal. There was an old mississippi trapping license for the 1933-34 season (December 1933 to January 1934) inside his 1934 journal and a hand written list of all the furs he sold February 1934 listed by species with the price the trapper received for each species of pelt.
By catching furs during the Depression, (and BTW in a state with poor quality fur) the old timer made more cash money in just two months of pinching toes with steel traps than he made producing 9 bales of cotton. He farmed an eleven acre cotton allotment and worked in the Mississippi heat all Spring, Summer, and Fall to produce these 9 bales of lint. In nature there is nothing more "sustainable" than the fur barer population, and nothing is so necessary to small flock free range chicken farming than a yearly check on coon, possum, skunk, fox, mink, coyote, lynx, weasel, and other varmint populations. This is why I feel that the Animal Rights lobby and Environmentalist shrill cries for “sustainable” agriculture is nothing but hot air, lies, and hokum.
