no no no best trapping years were before I was born 20s&30s one skunk was a days wages or more

since I can remember I'd say mid 60s you youngins have no concept of what inflation has done, 63-64 season my 12 yr old pal (with some help from me) shipped $750 of fur and wages were $1.25-$2.00, gas @ $.16/gal
look up Keynesian economics and blame Mr. Nixon for going to fiat (fake) money
