Hey, i hope i am in the right section, as this seemed most fitting, but correct me if I am wrong.
I want to become sort of a trapper as i have a squirrel hide (which i really need to learn how to tan since it is just dried), and i want to learn more about trapping. i am not wanting to go into it full time, just as a cute hobby to collect a few furs. so without further ado, this is what i would like to know:
-How do i trap squirrel, otter, rabbit, raccoon, and fox?
-could i get away with trapping the first 4 without license?
-what equipment should i look at?
-would the meat still be salvageable if i checked once a day on my lines and one happened to be caught soon after me checking?
-with raccoon (as that, rabbit, and squirrel i would lock on the most and prefer), should i just look for fresh roadkill and skin it, or hunt with gun over trapping?
-what kind of stuff can i do with furs besides having nice looking skins i could cuddle with at night? (just kidding about cuddling)
