The slowdown in the real estate market has made some rethink their career choice. Some have gone back to their past careers but this Central Michigan man has made a more interesting decision. He has gone from a real estate appraiser to trapper.
Richard C- Smith has been a recreational trapper for more than 45 years, longer than his career as a real estate appraiser.
With the downturn in the real estate market, the 59-year-old from Grand Blanc Township is turning his hobby into a second career as a trapper for people who are having problems with raccoons, skunks, squirrels and muskrats.
Smith says nuisance trapping is becoming a promising field because hunting and trapping are being restricted in some areas as the suburbs grow.via WLNS

Wow… I’ve heard of the Realtor/burlesque dancer, the Realtor/Retailer, even the Realtor/Artist… but trapper????
One of the endearing qualities about successful Realtors is their innovative nature- so why not? I wouldn’t want to shake this guy’s hand, “Hey partner, I’m your Realtor and I skin ‘coons on the side; forgive my cologne- eau de Roadkill.” Good for him, but YUCK anyway!
