I don't know about Dave's neighborhood but up here a good many older trappers need the income.
Many can not find work in the oilfield, they want younger people, and the smaller centers just don't have enough job opportunities for everyone.
For a lot of years I depended on trapping as the only option when work was not available.
Although I am not longer physically capable of trapping and don't need the income, many of my peers still trap and still need the income.
Never underestimate how little some get for a pension.
