Ha! That's quite comical. Do you not realize the levels being paid to trappers are basicallya token amount? essentially pocket change, but it does seem to pacify the trappers without having to fork aout any real money.
The guys who have the privelege of grazing stock on public land get at minimum $5000 each time a rig punches a hole in the ground plus annually $2000 for surface rent of a 2 acre block.
Then the trapper gets, what $1300 when the logging company comes in and clear cuts his trapline, oh yes and a few thousand more for the cabin they flatened.
So really, the trapper is basically NOT getting paid! But we can all pretend all is well!
