Almost as good as the late 70's. There were many booms and busts over that 350 years in the fur trade and it will continue to be so.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Sure there will remain some small markets but as far as a general boom I really don't expect to see another in my lifetime.

I think that may have been before fur farmers took over the market to help us out.
Who is John Galt?

You know the best year since the '87 crash (2013) would be just the run of the mill year during the about 10 year boom. Throw in some inflation consideration and it would not even compare. Fur boom pricesMultiply the fur boom prices by about 2.5 to adjust prices for inflation.

If trapping was an occupation, States could not ban non-residents. They could still play games. If everybody had something of value to trap where they live, probably less likely to travel to places where one species has value.

Synthetic fabrics including engineered insulation materials have replaced the demand for fur. The technology genie can never be put back in the bottle. I don't think the fur trade will ever come back.

Micro plastics from synthetic clothing now pollute our oceans and may lead to the extinction of vulnerable species of sea life adversely affected by them.
We really need to get the message out that wearing fur IS GREEN! They should be spitting on the folks with faux fur.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Beaver was king back then and in the lower 48 it's once again king. Not for fashion but because low demand for it's fur has made it a nuisance.
What the fur industry needs is more rappers and professional athletes driving demand.
