Gibb, No doubt, but this will tell us the attitude of the buyers, ie. Northwest Company, Bruno, etc. I personally am always interested going into the season what the perception/outlook of buyers in the country is. What do you think of the Red Fox market??

I wouldn't take the prices from that sale as an indicator of prices at the auction.Lots of those skins wind up putting money in someones pocket when re sold at the international auction later.The prices at that sale are more in line with the advances paid by the auctions.

I will bet you a dime to a dollar Nafa will get more for the marten than anyone selling at the Thompson fur table. From all the years I have been following that sale results in the Canadian trapper magazine,it made me sick to see how the trappers get ripped off compared to the auctions.I seen it here in the earlier days too when we had the buyers like Ratcliff in Cochrane and the Northern Store in Smooth Rock.Many trappers sold there to get fast money,but at a big discount compared to those of us that shipped.You can bet that fur went to the auction putting money in someone elses pocket.This was so bad years ago that Ralph Bice and the boys started the OTA fur sales.They were sick of being ripped off. It is good for the town of Thompson,as the Northern trappers spend their money there for Christmas,which is important for them.Just a shame they are taken advantage of because of that. That is my opinion.The Thompson Fur table is important to the Northern people.And I realize those that travel there to buy need to cover their expenses. Jim do you ever wonder why there are no more local fur buyers in Canada,when there used to be one in every town? I agree with your asessment of last years marten sales at NAFA and FHA as I had a good amount and equal lots of marten at both venues last year. The previous year was quite the opposite.

boco my point is your constantly posting on how great nafa and there certification is!......gets alittle old! especially certification, it will finish off the fur market and trapping as we know it. Why will signing a piece of paper stating that all laws were followed be the end of the fur market and trapping?
ITA, NTA, FTA

mink99..hows certification working out for your mink farm? great prices? we already have enough restrictions on trapping...ask boco how he likes the canine traps that are now mandatory in Canada. he don't use them! that's why there ok with him!! but go ahead and throw the other canine trappers under the bus .....so sign away today but what will they want tomarrow? once you start down a slippery slope its hard to turn back.

I don't believe that.The best marten sale last year was at NAFA.FHA marten sale in Helsinki was a bust.Better goods still unsold. The year before that the best marten prices were at Helsinki FHA. I just looked up the numbers.Northern Manitoba marten which are hvys-Thompson $96-Nafa $120.all CDN dollars-BIG difference.
