If you are doing it for the money I would charge a flat rate for mileage and then $40 or $50 per beaver sounds fair. You can make the extra money with the castors and the carcass. Depending how many beavers there are you will probably get multiple catches each time you go. And odds are the landowner will experience beaver problems again in the future. Set up with the landowner to do the beaver management on an annual basis. No need to be greedy if trapping is your passion.
You are pretty resourcefully crafty so home tanned summer prime pelts could be used for trim or linings. Hair off raw hide might make a nice drum skin.
