Default how many "trapping kilometres"

I'm curious... how many kilometres you're compiling either every day or weekly that are related to fur trapping or fur hunting.

This season I drove 150-230 kms. every time I went out... 5 days out of a week...average 1000 kms every week.
Season was from Nov. 20 too Jan 20 (8 weeks) which adds up to 8,000 km.
Realistically, I think I incured total 10,000 km as I did some pre-season scouting. Approximately $600. gas as my truck is a pig

350 km ea way, so 700 every 8-10 days over 2 month. 4500 km maybe.
Should run it as a business, I'd get some of my regular job income tax $ back.

I put on around 20,000 km every year on the Dodge Ram and around 80% is for trapping and related trapline work. It depends how far your line is from your home base. Thus fuel cost becomes a big part of trapline expenses.

About 5 km all round travelling is overrated.
