Beautiful! Finished fur hanging is pleasant to the eyes.

I noticed your grey fox are fur in. Do you notice any difference in price or grade for selling them that way?

As far as I know, Groenwald is the only place that wants them fur in. Both NAFA and FHA say to put them fur out.

BTW - I enjoy your pictures. Nothing prettier than a bunch of well handled pelts hanging up.

Nice to see the dry fur hanging.
Do you measure and grade your dry fur before shipping\selling?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I haven't sold enough of late to make the comparison, but these are destined for GFWC next Friday.

Thanks for the compliment.

I have in the past, but with this small amount I have an average in my head that I would like to see sale day. This will all be sold to GFWC this coming Friday aling with some green beaver and otter.

That's what I probably thought that your coon down there typically smaller. My average is probably ticked up a size to 2xl-3xl for an average. SNIPERBBB mentioned "Bergman's rule" in another recent thread about larger size critters further north. We also have a high calorie (field corn) environment around here.

Y'all are correct about Bergmann's Rule. Plus these sandy bottom peat swamps around here don't grow very many large bodied critters, except gators, cottonmouths, and largemouth bass. Otters ain't too bad though.
