Most of you that know me, know I'm a frugal bass turd.

Frugal so I can get spendy on stuff I really enjoy like backhoes and sawmills and quads and cabins and hunting land etc. I finished organizing my taxes and figuring up all my yearly earnings and expenses and was happy to see that my fall beaver catch, just beavers now, not the other critters, paid for my electric, propane, phone (including long distance) plus internet PLUS our Netflicks subscription for the whole year of 2012. ALL household utilities and entertainment from one specie.

Gawwwwd I fricken love fur trapping.

Jc That is great. two years ago I bought a used camper with my trapping money,put a hundred into it and have used it to go to a few conventions and do some family camping. These past few years I us the money to register my toys, Pay for all my licenses,and a few other extras along with buying a few more supplies, I have not had to use any house hold money for any of this stuff for the past few years. It's great.

Trapping and Hunting is not a matter of life or death its much more important then that.

Old thread , ah well. It is nice when your hobby pays for itself! Trapping pays for itself and all my hunting stuff. License, gear, gas....... It's like paying yourself to do what you want to do! Plus freezers full of meat and pay some bills! :-/Thought of even tanning and making some fur items to make more money. Life is good!
