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).

I may be wrong about that, was told that buy my nephew in PA.
Non-residents can buy a fur dealer permit just like a resident. Thanks for clarifying that. Do you know the cost of the dealer permit in state /out of state? And do you need to have the fur tagged individually to cross state lines?

I hope the pelts were sold green for that price otherwise I think I'd cry for the amount of work that went into each one for that little return.

My dealer said he bought some rough beaver and sold them to Groney for that without the castors in the grease they wanted them that way. 7-8 bucks a beaver
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I averaged $75 for the two beaver I sold yesterday. Who cares about what I sold the meat and castor for?
Who is John Galt?

I can sell about 50. 50 x $75 = $3750
150 x $10 = $1500.

$7.50 was put up fur sold at the K.Falls OTC sale. (There was only one beaver buyer and he was grinning ear to ear all day long). And BTW, probably half to 2/3rds of those beaver were legitimate Section III. But, I also sold carcasses at $5 (MINUS THE HEADS), good XL heads st $3, sac oil, empty sacs, and castor at about $15-$16 per beaver. My overall avg was about $30.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
