The prices both auctions settle for on wolves or wolverines does not excite me. That being said, they are improving their wolverine game.
P.S. their black wolf prices seem to be improving also.
Maybe both have refocused a little effort here since they can't hardly sell anything else for a decent return.

Is there even a select grade for grey fox? Didn't think they broke them down that much-I don't think they get big enough numbers.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Western Greys can be fickle, too early their flat, to late they get fuzzy. without seeing how they were handled it's hard to say though. On the coyotes, I would venture a guess those six may have been early. Long mane with no/minimal under fur making them coarse.

I have a coyote in lot 15498, this lot doesn't show in the catalog. Is the catalog incomplete? The catalog is complete. Your coyote got pulled for some reason - to be used as a pelt in a grading demo or at a convention or some other educational purpose. Happens all the time. When the auction is over, you will be paid for that coyote at the same price as what that grade of coyote sold for during the auction. No need to call about it. The pelt is in the system and you will get paid.

[quote=furiousfarmer]In fact, 6 of my 16 coyotes graded as Eastern and they all came from Colorado/Utah. /quote]
I was surprised to see all of my red fox (NY) were graded as Central.

A couple of my cats were graded pale / extra pale? Does that generally help or hurt the price? If you had western cats, that color would definately help the price. Probably will help your NY cats as well. What section are they in?

On the coyotes, I would venture a guess those six may have been early. Long mane with no/minimal under fur making them coarse. I target fox in October and early November when Bobcats aren't in season yet. And then I catch Greys all year long as a bycatch while bobcat trapping so they get caught from October to February. The coyotes are mostly shot and the dates are also about the same range so you could very well be correct about why 6 of them went Eastern.

Probably will help your NY cats as well. What section are they in? They are in the Northern section. Is the Canada section the most prized? Followed by Northern, then Western, etc? or is that just the way the catalog is organized?
