It's real; some kind of goat or sheep, probably bleached. At least it's going in the right direction, I don't care who the person is.

Maybe because they'll buy a fur coat, hat, etc... to be fashionable, but then turn around and vote to take your traps away. Or do their best to snatch your guns and then berate you for using a club to dispatch.

Global warming will cause fur to be of no use. Smart people say so.

Fur will shine again boys.... All things go in circles.
Maybe we will have 7 more years of being told were doing just fine instead of being told we are the heels of the earth and encouraged to feel guilty about everything under the sun. And the sun.
Fur will come around.

Holding out hope here too.
Certainly this cold can't hurt.

It wasn't my intention to bust Bryce's chops...

We have reached the point in a global market that if we want fur items to move off of racks/shelves that we need to be able to buy it just about everywhere.

Producers need to look at new items and new markets... Inexpensive mass produced items that everyone can afford.

We need ushankas and mittens at Wal-Mart and Target.

Each of you can state whatever you care to as it reveals a lot about how we deal with the realities we face in the world we live in.

I agree. But if it was more affordable to buy what would the effect be for the trappers? Hopefully a fur boom

I don't think the US will ever be much of a player in the fur market. But, with the cold temps around here the past couple weeks, I've had several offers for my coyote hat and several compliments.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Not sure a boom is the answer Adam. Lots of variables effect the fur market. And it's hard to see the whole picture.

But more people wearing more fur can't hurt.
