Raccoon Trapper
I grew up as a Raccoon Trapper in Wisconsin Rapids and caught my first one when I was 9 years old. I trapped several hundred raccoons for the fur until I was 18 and the fur market crashed. I went into the service and continued trapping and snaring different animals in lots of different countries. I was released from the service in San Diego in 1995 and started trapping raccoons again in 2000. But this was a new way of trapping for me. I was used to trapping with snares and foothold traps, but those are dangerous in the city, so I used cage traps, and I took a liking to the catch and release way of doing business. Now I train Raccoon trappers all over the country. I have offices in San Diego, Los Angeles, St. Augustine, St Louis, Gainesville, Sacramento, Madison, Milwaukee, La Crosse, Green Bay, Minocqua, Cedar Falls, Brooklyn, Queens, Long beach, Hermosa beach, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Arizona, Cave Creek, Scottsdale and now I live in Wisconsin Rapids again, and will take a raccoon trapping job anywhere in Wisconsin.

Raccoon trappers had a good year last year. The fur market has shifted due to the cold weather in Russia. Chinese garment makers are snatching up Raccoon Fur all over the United States. Fur buyers drive pannel trucks and pick ups all over buying fur from raccoon trappers who have spent all winter honoring the age old tradition of raccoon trapping. Even Danial Boone had a raccoon skin cap! He was a raccoon trapper too.
From there the raccoon trappers furs go to a big auction house where the chinese sort of dominate the room. They have the cheep labor to produce the garments that the russians need to stay warm. I am not exadurating when I say that NOTHING is as comfortable and warm as real fur! There are organisations who succeeded in ruining the fur market here in the United States, but I dont think the europeans will fall for there line of c#$p. They know what they like and dont much care what people think . I personally dont have the time needed to trap raccoons any more for the fur. I get the raccoons out with live traps and one way doors. The only raccoon trapping I do now is when raccoons get inside houses, and make nests in attic spaces. Sometimes a raccoon walking on a roof is the target, or a raccoon eating Koi fish or digging the lawn at someones home.
My crew traps more than Raccoons! As a matter of fact, we trap almost anything that isnt protected. Skunks, Bats, Squirrels, Turtles, Muskrats, Rabbits, Coyotes, Fox, Beaver, Woodchucks, and Snakes are all on the top of the list for us here!
