First day of wild fur sales, muskrat holding good but brutal day for mink, otter, and raccoon. About 10% of my coon sold on the auction block at price 1/3 of what they were last year. A few more sold privately at low prices afterward. Private sales will probably continue to move some skins at low prices. Good to clean out the inventory though. On a brighter note hopefully the downturn in the market will clear out some of the gold seekers brought out by last years prices. |

X2 The thing that bothers me the post is that it is very difficult to know who you can trust with trapping. The Code talked about a few weeks ago on the turkey forum is not respected by too many in trapping. Try to help somebody out and they steal a permission. Stings worse than trap theft. About the only bright spot for me on this sale was those reds sold well. Much reduced from last year but still good money. More than 80% of the rest of my fur didn't sell. Only sold one grey....damaged and brought $2. Coon for our section is bleak and will probably not be back for a while. Feel bad for those that depend on fur money to pay the bills. |

Anytime a new trapper asks for my help I always tell them.....on your permits. It makes them go out an actively seek permission. |
