Beaver $150
Coyote $120
Redfox $120

Maybe the best price overall we had a run of low 2's and 3 red fox (Sept/Oct that we were 31.00.
We were just hoping to sell them and get something for the low 2"s


and a few years ago $18.00 rats (Grownwald)

I've got over $1000 for a few really good wolves before......but my son just got a check from our Fish and Wildlife Management Board for $322 for a marten! It is some sort of incentive deal for good fur handling. Im not positive but I think it only applies to furs sent to FHA. Anyway he had one marten in the top lot, so got whatever the auction price was, plus the $322.

Not the most expensive, but maybe the most impressive, I got $14 out of a possum one time.

I'm proud of my $28 Indiana coyote! Brought my average all the way up to like $14 that year. I really don't know why I bother skinning them.
