I while back I took a Fur Managers (Trappers) course.
Given the population expansion in rural areas in my area, getting permission to hunt on local private land have been increasingly difficult !!!
But as a trapper, these same landowners would welcome you with open arms to trap nuisance animals on their property. Go figure.
I have been involved with the National Trappers Association and volunteer my time at their national conventions as well as the Michigan State show in Evart MI.
I'm also a member with two Ontario trappers councils, Chatham & Aylmer district. And attend the Ontario Trappers Rendezvous if distance isn't to far.
For the past few years, fur prices have been very low in part due to trade embargoes with Russia and back room deals between China and Korea !
If I were to only do it for the money, I would have quit long ago. But I do it for the fun of it and if I can make a couple of bucks along the way, I will.
The local area I trap is just inland from the Detroit River on the Canadian side of course.
Mostly for raccoons, mink, muskrat, the occasional coyote & believe it or not Beaver. Beaver have been migrating up from Ohio into the Great Lakes and are thriving.
Are there any other trappers here in the Thee House ???
