Without seeing individual grades and prices it’s pretty hard to say for sure what the market is doing, pretty sure it isn’t softening

That was my skunk. I'm kind of in shock. Can't say I saw that coming. Was it a striped skunk or spotted skunk (civet)? Did it have the feet on it?

Was it a fall bear or a spring bear? Congrats on the top lot bear. It was a fall bear, caught November 2. It was very well furred though.

My question for you guys who only ship top fur is what do you do with the rest of it??? Same thing the auction house does with it. Give it away or burn it.

My question for you guys who only ship top fur is what do you do with the rest of it??? Number1. Section 1 is not top fur. Some of it ain't worth shipping. Section III is mostly real poor except maybe dg1 stuff. Most of the real bad stuff does not get skinned. No point in it. Some of the better damaged stuff I will spend extra money and tan and sew with. Some years I'll pull color and size that ain't worth shipping. I'll give you 5 section 1 species that ain't worth shipping currently. Ermine, otter, mink, and red fox, fisher. There are probably more.

"Prior to the start of our auction we received well wishes and encouraging messages from most of the world’s auction houses as we most often always do days prior to our auctions. At times like this when the market is struggling it is so very much appreciated as we all are in the same boat. However the evening of our auction we started receiving messages from a great many of the buyers that had already arrived here in North Bay. The message was the same, a document released from a competitor stating that their offering the morning of May 23rd had increased on several species. In particular MUSKRAT had increased from 90,000 to 208,265 and raccoon had increased from 252,000 to 424,694 in just 12 hours. This was sent to our buyers the evening prior to our auction. In both cases the quantities more than doubled and questions of where this volume could come from was paramount as this much volume was not even produced the past few years. The timing of this tactic was not well received by the great number of buyers forwarding it to us. "

Is this something that occurs routinely or a new marketing technique from that competitor? Dave
Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping. May I be half the man he was.

Dirt,looks like some fur is coming out of storage, Dealer lots I would imagine. That's alot of coon in this market, what a deal. A bunch of dealers didn’t just come up with 200k coon. I think I know what’re they came from but I’d be called all kind of names if I say so I’ll just keep to myself
