Sold some fur to gfw. Had some early season (and late season) and damaged goods that dinged the overall coyote average. My biggest bunch of coyotes sold at 80 though, and the second largest group I had at 60. About half my coon went at 18. The rest at either 10 or 5.
7 dollar red foxes were a bit of a disappointment, everyone is gloomy about the coon market but 89 percent of my coons sold for more than my foxes did!

A couple carcass badgers @ $15
6 rats @ $1.25
1 cat @ $175
1 small cat @ $60

Last week my bigger finished coon went $25. I was happy with that.


I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Wow, those are pretty decent numbers. Not often enough nowadays that a guy can leave the fur buyer happy.

It really is a different quality of fur. Nothing the trapper can do about that but move. Not an option or even a consideration for most, so we make do with what we have, and can still enjoy our state and the opportunities it has to offer. Not defending gwf on prices. It's just a difference that has existed and exist even when fur prices are good.

If you're only using one outlet for your fur, it takes a lot of your options off the table. Just something to consider. Gotta look around, take your time if you think you have something that should bring better money than you're getting.

So your coon average was about $11.00 or so.

About the same experience I had with GFW. I felt I was treated fairly and left happy. You can't believe the condition some fur is brought to the buyer and yet the seller b!&%^#( about the price they receive. There is no way the buyer can give a good price when the critters are froze together, totally covered in mud and just in really poor condition. Some kids in front of me had half a pickup load of coons that didn;t bring $100. They were really disappointed, but if they would have just taken the time to clean them up and maybe run a comb through them. Buyer told me I need to put on a class on fur put up. Just take pride in making them the best they can be.
