i just wish boggy would get over being so shy

There is no substitute in my opinion or for my uses than real beaver castor; therefore, it could go higher than some state on here. However I do not believe supply and demand will cause that price to remain at that high point. Plus I was always taught to buy years or more worth of necessary commodity. in the event the market held the price close to a $100 a pound I would expect many lure makers would raise their price vs modifying successful products.

You Can Buy Almost All The Castor You Want Here In New York State For Less Than $50.00 A Pound.

I have Seen Very Little In New York Go For More Than That At The NYSTA Affiliate Auctions Around The State.

At One Of The More Competitive Auctions In Herkimer, N.Y. In Early February, The Average Was A Shameful $45.58 A Pound.

Castor Prices Here Are Pitiful.

I offered North star 25lbs Castor dried, lets say I didnt sell him my castor or any of my fur, Never again will I deal with him.
I sold all my castor to a young local buyer for $60, Plus he got all my fur and he paid very generously for the market conditions
Thanks CarlsonFurs!!!

Why? They don’t want you killing them for fur?

I used Tom's Moundmaster #1, GREAT castor lure. GREAT results.

I heard the most you can get for castor is $60-$65 per pound...

I was buying straight run dry castor with no grade at auctions for $45-50 here in NY

I am paying $50.00 on # 1 and #2 castor on a real easy grade and on shells I am paying $25.00. If I remember right, I sold Castor once in my life for around $90.00 on # 1 castor. I can't remember what I sold # 2 and shells for.

Are you saying it’s good now???

They Antis don’t care what you do with the critter. It wouldn’t matter if you were feeding the meat to starving orphans. They don’t want animals to die, period, because they’re delusional enough to believe that’s actually possible.

The answer is in your statement. They are “Anti” their view on Trapping already is not good.

You and Dairy farmers have a lot in common........

I have dealt with Jim for 38 years,always felt I was treated well. If you guys have questions on castor prices call him ,not me LOL-(651)433-2803 .

It's a bubble right now.

From a lure makers point of view--hope the castor bubble breaks real soon.
What would be even better--much higher beaver prices.That would take care of things in a hurry.

I know two kid trappers that took their rats to N star fur a long time ago. Well he was a crook then. I hopes he's changed.

I wonder what you could buy caster down in Lacross for. Might be worth the trip for ya, Tom.

When adjusting for inflation, castor has room to go much higher from previous highs.

Hope it does not get too high or rare as some large firm will make a synthetic product and then that market will be lost for good except for small residual markets.

2nd rule of economics...if a product gets too expensive, people will go to the next best alternative.
