Personally as a novice trapper only 3 yrs at it in Ontario I don't do much trapping till at least December. Except for nucience beaver. The reason for this at least here is the quality of the fur. You want the furbearers to have a nice winter coat and for most critters that is usually December. And it's not cuz it's colder its because of hours of daylight. An animal's coat grows and molts with daylight hours not cuz of weather. But like I said I am just a novice
always be prepared-prepare all ways

Tailsofthenorth, I doubt you'll be able to make enough money by trapping to not have to have a job "in town" to support yourself. Here is a link to a long series of videos made by a professional trapper who was born and raised in Canada's North West Territories. He has been trapping for many years, yet still has to work off season "in town" to buy the supplies, food, snowmobile upkeep, traps, etc., etc., etc.
Scroll down to the series "Trapping Tales" and watch from the beginning of the series. You'll see what equipment, traps, tools, and gear are required, plus his methods of trapping. You might learn a few things that work out on the trapline.
If anyone could live off just fur trapping, I'll bet this young man, Andrew, could do it... but he can't.
(By the way, if coarse language offends you, don't watch the videos.)
