If there is money generated by trapping then that is another way to reduce the amount spent on poisons like 1080 in those places.
    As @berg243 said. Pet food. If I wasn’t selling it would be going to my working dogs. Missus is getting a companion dog on Wednesday and is going to put it on raw food diet so some of what I trap/shoot will go towards that.
