Why does this always turn into whos got the biggest Pee Pee contest?

And yes, I poo pooed the original post as I've seen it in the past, but in hindsight it's nice to see hear something positive at this point. Hope it materializes is all, as we all have our doubts.



Thanks,

I live in a good coon area with a quality fur when harvested at the right time and so I will pursue them then.

Coyote guys can you see the writing on the wall? Do I buy 10 big heavy raccoon for $100 or a coyote for a $100 to trim a coat?

I can count on prime Wisconsin coons of good size to be quality. Yotes here are a crapshoot.

LOL,

I think Canada Goose knows they can't change laws, I was just making fun. Like i said on that other thread, they know (i hope!)states will tell them to pound sand if they try to get us to give up traps like Canada did to appease the anti's.

Trying to get 50 states to comply would be an undertaking. Signing a paper that we followed all laws? No problem.

The ones in the auction houses may represent a percentage of the total coon that are being stored waiting for the market to change. One thing we do know is that the limited percentage of fresh goods that meet the current market conditions will sell. What we don't know is at what price and if the market deepens a bit how many of the semi heavies, centrals and easterns will move.

Somebody mentioned that Groeny's were promoting the idea of going after beaver last year. If I recall correctly (and I always do), it was for the hatter market and their notion was that with higher castor prices to add to the pelt price you could still turn a profit.

I only trapped beaver for 3 weeks last year but I did gross $1000/week. So, they was right! (And I only averaged $7.50 a pelt).

My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

So,if fresh goods meet or exceed current demands(needs),does that mean speculation (stale goods) diminish proportionately?
At what point,(age) do stale goods become valueless?
Are there set degrees of staleness?
