Ibscrapin hit it on the head, furs are a commodity just like scrap metal, gold, silver, oil, etc. The price fluctuates based on supply and demand. Those that have read my posts know my choice of lifestyles.
I have read enough of Saws posts to know he is not against trapping, hunting, or fishing. I have asked the same question to all the trappers I know because I am curious, not questioning their lifestyle. Some people in Louisiana eat Carp. When I was little we use to give the Carp we caught to locals that thought it was a delicacy. I have no desire to eat it because I am spoiled with Walleye, Trout, Northern Pike, and Bass.
Trapping is hard work that I have tried with limited success. I wish Dakota good luck on his trapping and commend him on being open minded to the advantages of modern technology. GPS is not needed on my scrap piles because eventually the farmers will call me to get the stuff out of their way. No intention to throw a left hook into the thread, so a new thread will be started based on part of this conversation.
