Otter market is similar to the beaver market.Large size,good colour(dk) no damage and prime/hvy/sh=good money.The prices drop fast for any outside those parameters. There is a good market for tanned otters that are of half decent quality.

Pretty sad prices.....hard to get motivated for that.....now 90.00 -100.00 my Traps would find their way out of the shed. With these sad fur prices....just means more ice fishing time.

I stopped trapping otter when the price dipped below $130.00 averages. LOL

Sold my last three otter for $125.00 Each after tanning.
Put-up with all four feet skinned out to the last knuckle and intact.
Tanning by Mark Tubari was $22.00 Each so netted $103.00 per pelt.
Acceptable price for a little extra work, and 6 months awaiting completion of the dressing.

w That’s really acceptable. Considering if you would have shipped them, you might have got $22 each on a 6 year wait.

I have a friend who makes otter hats and slippers for the tourist trade. He actually prefers working with slightly early bluish skins, they produce a little flatter, but glossier fur. Those same skins will most likely be very difficult to sell (for a decent price) on the normal fur markets, but craft and individual users will still pay pretty good prices for them.

GFW "announced" a 30-40% increase in otter prices this season. It was on their youtube channel in a video they posted like a week ago on market and route info. Whether or not they actually hold to that will be interesting.
