I actually was in negotiations with SWIFTMUD this summer about becoming a trapper. As I live in the north end of their territory that said they would give me roughly 100,000 acres (split up into several tracts ranging from 1,000 to 18,000 acres) up this way, to trap hogs from.
But the more questions I asked, the worse it got. NO dog hunting, traps had to be set with a SWIFTMUD employee who GPS'd where the traps were, you couldn't move a trap without them knowing and marking the new location. Hogs had to be killed, no hogs sold alive to any clubs or hunting preserves, if you took a guy to help you with the hogs, you had to have Workmans Comp insurance on him (paid out of your pocket).
Plus you had to pay for your fuel, corn, traps, etc. not to mention your time and wear on your vehicle. All for a dead hog you probably can't give away..........and for zero pay.

Just seemed like a losing proposition to me, so I passed on it. I told them if I could hunt the dogs , in addition to trapping, I would do it and they told me NO dogs period..........
