Fur prices up 50%.That is quite encouraging.

Looks like Joe's gonna buy some subsidized wolverine. Probably the only ones FHA gets.

FYI Subsidy is a transfer of money from the government to an entity. It leads to a fall in the price of the subsidised product.

So, when they give the trapper $25.00 for a $10.00 mink, (of course the $10.00 bonus is moot), what happens to the mink? Assuming that it actually sells for the market value of maybe $10.00?
And where did the $25.00 come from? thanks

If you pay a flat rate for fur, you will definitely get a large collection of junk. I wish we had somebody that payed a flat rate for fur, they would get all my damaged pelts I just throw away now.

We don't get the flat rate for every pelt dirt. The wildlife officer still looks and determines if it's worthy. If it's well handled then it's worthy. You don't get paid for the junk. What's damaging your pelts where you have to throw them away?

Sub standard traps cause a lot of avoidable fur damage.

Was just pointing out one main reason for damage on fur,not aimed at you.In general.Leaving fur too long in traps,and dead animals of certain species on the ground,as well as failure to gang set for cannibalistic animals are all other reasons for getting damaged fur.All avoidable to a certain extent but never 100%.
Other reasons are not bagging fur for transport,and other types of poor handling practices.
