If you are looking to make the really big $$ in trapping-- put your money in Enron stock instead. :eek: It can be done but takes years of experience and working long lines.
But if you are wanting to enjoy the most wonderful sport in the world, hang in there! Unless you are a long liner, it is doubtful you will make a lot of money. And it is like any other endeavor- the more you work at it, the more you will reap. This year, I am not looking to make a lot of money- my thoughts are on trying to make my sets at the right locations for the target; make the best constructed sets I can; learn more about each animal; and maybe then, my pay check will be a little better than I expected.
I don't really think the market is settled down enough yet to get a real good guage on prices. If you expect the coon to be down a little from last year, with the long hairs about the same, then you probably won't be disappointed. Ask me in a month and I probably still won't know. :wink:
