[QUOTE="trapper1954, post: 3048603, member: 128092"] Vehicle expense, gasoline, tires, equipment, parts etc drive up the cost of helping. Pay straight by the head can start out fine until your trapped out and asked to stay a little longer. In the end you cant erase the miles off your truck, trailer and 4 wheeler (10 tires on the ground). Look at a new truck, look at a good used truck, insane. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]To Me[/COLOR], A single coyote is worth the price of 1 market lamb, minimum (btw 1 axis doe=$600, buck $2500, delivered live, yes coyotes do kill grown axis deer, regularly) [I][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]plus[/COLOR][/I] a skilled labor wage.
