As is always the case,the big prime eastern stuff with no dmg is selling at a premium.Which today is 30-40 usd range. A trapper today has to be a semi competent grader to know what to market at the auctions.

Do you mean that you have to grade them before you kill them.

No beav,I'm saying you will do better marketing the lesser beavers elsewhere,or in alternative markets(if you have them).You can also improve your odds by trapping when pelts are prime and paying attention to how you put them up.

There are lots of beautiful beaver everywhere, even the western states including Nebraska but nobody traps under the ice for select pelts anymore. If they trap beaver at all it’s run and fun for spring beaver and hatter prices.

Be funny if master boco could trap some of these chewed up rubbed out mud rugs for a season, lol.
You either HAVE a fur market or you DON'T! Right no there isn't a fur market, just some hide buyers at a flea market buying stuff for bargain prices and why not, everyone will keep producing more.

I will NEVER trap another beaver for the price of It's hide. $100.00 per animal Is my bottom line price.+ a $100.00 set up fee.
Boco this alternative market you speak of doesn't exist around here. I'm not getting stuck with a bunch of tanned beaver hides with no market.

I thought your alternative market to the auctions was buyers that took them in the round,or is that all BS. I have been selling out of tanned beaver for the past number of years.That market is good here.Lots of skin sewers up north.

Sure boco, ALOT of folks down here getting paid to trap beaver, still have some land owners tell you that 'you can keep the hides' for payment though, lol.
Since your running out of them maybe you need to start buying beaver hides.

I would J trap but it is illegal to hold two separate commercial fur licences here.(trapping and fur buyer).

Minnesota,Michigan,Wisconsin,Maine,New York etc.. all have beautiful beavers-you don't need to be in Canada.One thing good in todays beaver market is the dgd stuff is selling well.Spring beaver trappers would do alright on bigger sizes I would think with castor and meat involved. Fur wise probably two thirds Of Minnesota has an ugly commercial beaver. Other than the best of the best it’s all hatters pretty much everywhere

I never would have thought that..even here, if you can avoid damage they will grade near the very top of their respective catalog.
