I've never paid for beaver, but I don't think I'd want one that goes for $8.If we have any trappers I was paid $8.00 per pelt tonight, when I was a kid these would easily pay $50 to $80 per pelt. Such are the times yo.
Just so nobody is concerned I have a license to kill beaver anytime from the commonwealth. These two f***ers started rebuilding a dam on my land within minutes of a friend destroying the dam with is backhoe. I have shot two more since then, night vision, suppressed 5.56 rounds straight to the beav.
Suppressed? In Mass.?
Actually there are FOUR; Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Kentucky.I’ve been in all three Commonwealths, god graced me to be born in the best Commonwealth. PENNSYLVANIA!
Is that $8.00 in the round, or Skinned, Fleshed and Stretched? Hell the Castor is worth more than that!!If we have any trappers I was paid $8.00 per pelt tonight, when I was a kid these would easily pay $50 to $80 per pelt. Such are the times yo.

About Kentucky??? Isn't that the place, where if a man and a woman get divorced, they are still brother and sister?I actually knew that as I’ve been corrected before and still f***ed it up. I once said to someone I’ve lived in all three commonwealths and he said yeah there’s four. I always forget about Kentucky, if you’ve been there you’d understand.
Yeah, I did very well during the 80's. to the point that I turned it into a seasonal business. I kept records of expenses and money that came in. Yes I paid, my fees to the government. But I was able to write off equipment and seminars.Skinned. When I was a kid I ran a trap line. Mostly raccoon and maybe 2 fox a month and a few beavers. The old timer who bought my furs was loaded and ran a huge fox farm and trapping shop. I think he gave me a little extra per animal because by the 80s trapping was already an old mans game and he liked that I was a kid doing it. I was easily making $250- $500 a week. Raccoon were $50-70 and Fox paid $80-$120. I was the wealthiest farm boy in western PA. I used my money to buy a new Ford Ranger, I think it was the first model year. First of many bad choices lol!

How active are you with the State Trappers Association?

Well, stop being sad and become a member again, and while you are at it join the NTA (National Trappers Association) These folks are another one the many that fight to keep us trapping and hunting. (Note, I am on the BOD of New Hampshire Trappers Assoc. From Cheshire County, Also The NTA Director for New Hampshire, as well being on The NTA Membership Committee)Sadly I’m not even a member anymore. I quit trapping back in the 80s when I went off to college. My special license is only to kill them on my own land throughout the year. I still get a trapping license every year but I’m not out here on the farm consistently enough to trap. With the COVID-19 situation I’ve been hanging out here on the farm instead of in the city. It sounds like you found a nice way to stay in trapping and make some money still, that’s great news!

No, that's the place where they banned homeschooling, because too many teachers were having sex with the students.About Kentucky??? Isn't that the place, where if a man and a woman get divorced, they are still brother and sister?
