I was getting 10.00 plus a cup of hot chocolate to scoop snow off a sidewalk in '71, took about 20 minutes.

How many skunks can you kill and skin in 20 minutes ?    You'd a done better picking up soda bottles. 😅

I ran my soda bottle route during the week and my paper route on the weekends... Ah the good ole days!

Made enough in two seasons to buy 100 acres. But that was all my Furs, plus I was putting my full paycheck in savings. My Ex paid the Bills.

Was paying $35 a month for rent on our house. It was on 350 acres that I hunted and fished on. We also had Garden, Chicken House and Wood Shed.

Back then property was selling for $200 an acre. I was making $8000 a month.

Made $20,0000 a season Trapping and running Dogs. No I didn’t sleep.

I was also mowing grass and digging graves.

Seriously was getting $7 off Muskrats and had almost a thousand. Coons I averaged $30 apiece had couple hundred. Possums was getting $3 have no idea how many of them I had.

Had to laugh at my Grandpa had about $10,000 worth of Furs in a Shed. Put a Little Bitty Lock on the Door. I looked at him. He said keeps them honest. LOL

That was back when you could actually make a living on Furs and seen way more Turkeys and Quail because you didn't have so many Egg Suckers.
