I saw that. He did say "after tanning".
Still seems like a great price.

I find it difficult to believe they have marten in the Ozarks.
Jason Hawk is talking about things that can prey on his chickens - skunks, possums and marten. Hum.... I saw a marten last weekend in the ozarks. I don't think it was much of threat to chickens in its tanned state though. I also saw a cross fox and a wolf. You just never know what will show up at a trappers meet.

I wonder how many people get into trapping because of these "reality" shows, thinking $100 mink and so on will be waiting for them at the end of their chains. Gives new meaning to "yanking your chain."

Yep Some guys I know that watch that show are sure I'm making thousand and thousands of. $$$ on my trap line
Even had people argue that I "have to be getting $100 per beaver pelt"
Kinda like watching a "nature program" and them narrating about animals we know abou and being all wrong, makes me have no confidence in what the say when I watch a program about animals in another part of the world
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

Play a clip when selling someone a fur,and collect the big money after you "prove" to them what it is worth.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I wonder how much the TV net work Is paying him? While I like the show I don't believe he's catching and tanning and making enough articles to make a living.
