I would love to see one like that leaping in the trees among the dark tones in a winter forest. http://www.illustrationsinmotion.com/index.html

I think there were 20 skins in that lot, there were about 60,000 skins on the sale. Sold for $155 USD. I'm still waiting for my "Top Lot" hat, haha. "My life is better than your vacation"

After ten years trapping on the current line I finally got a top lot red fox last year as well, would have been nice to get the certificate. I had a true top lot marten about 6 or so years ago I believe I got $228 US it has been my only one.
