do you feel that govt ran predator control affects your trapping, whether it be fur trapping or ADC trapping?

We don't have any government trappers in my neck of the woods. I usually get called with nuisance animal problems around here. I suppose they like calling me because they don't have to pay me.

Just like the rest of "our goverment" they are sticking their noses into something they know nothing about. As usual it is costing the tax payers alot of money it shouldn't be costing them. I can tell you, there are some in the ADC field fighting them very hard. bringing to light alot of waste and BS.
Anyone thinks they won't be affected by them are either in denial or just plain don't know what they are doing. Fur trappers or ADC people, both will be had if they are not stopped.

ALOT of adc trappers would like to see fur trappers gone as well. they view fur trappers as direct competion as well. you guys better be careful advocating ANY banning or restrictions of trapping..govt or not. cause if your successful...who do you think the ADC guys are gonna go after next? the FUR trapper. course Huck...arent you an adc guy? so i guess your not really unbiased in this fight, are you? the antis love that you guys are at each other throats(adc after the usda)..youre fightijng the antis fight for them.

Sunny that is more BS. I am a fur trapper AND an ADC trapper. I have yet to meet a single ADC trapper that is against fur trapping. Most got started fur trapping, just as i did.
The antis are a bunch of non educated fools, we all know that. The nfight ADC workers have against the USDA has nothing to do with animal rights or any of that BS. It is about them being in competition against the private sector. Which is NOT at all what the Gov. should be doing.
I take it from your remark that you like the idea of the USDA being envolved in trapping? For what reason.

it isnt BS Huck. i know for a fact its true in some of cases.ive talked to guys who feel that the fur trapper is cuttin in on them too and if they were gone as well as the usda guys they think theyd be millionaires but in reality they probably wouldnt have much more work than they do now,if any.
a priavate guy could not go to a cattle farm for a month and charge only 86 bucks but a usda guy can.
i think the usda provides a valuable service to farmers alot of farmers could not afford to pay the ADC guys what they would want to come and take care of their predation problems.
why dont you like them huck..other than you feel like theyre taking your jobs? in actuality alot of those farmers wouldnt let a private guy on their land..even if they would do the coyote trapping for them for free.
