Thats a heck of an average, well done!
I rarely start before the end of Nov....Sept, Oct and Nov are months dedicated to hunting, the only time I will start at some point in Nov is if im tagged out which doesnt happen very often. I dont have time to manage any real amount of snares and put the time into hunting that i like to (family gets a small timeslot at some point too). I consistently do better on overall average than a buddy who starts early, but obviously he ends up ahead in total dollars due to numbers. When prices tank though, he will have spent alot of extra hrs than me for not much benefit. Work smarter not harder.
