I wasn't going to post cause I havent in a long time, reasons to my own. I have always trapped rats an a 3.00 average was the norm. The last three years were great I wish I had more rats at that time. Prices go up an down take what you get and put a smile on your face, just think of the time spent doing it. If I thought what I made an hour trapping my wife would put me in a institution, an I do well in an average trapping all fur bearers. I averaged 4.67 mostly spring rats, I am not extatic about it but still happy it wasent 3.00. Happy trapping just think of the yapper prices on Monday makes me sleep well.
