You'd better hope that fur buyer is still in business next year. I think he must be really speculating with those prices, just my opinion. I sure hope he's right with his hunches. Huh? Those look like the same crappy prices every trapper is selling for. You don't think he can maybe resell that $20 fox for a whopping $40? Or those three $14 beaver for $28?

That's impressive.....especially the red fox. You guys made out like bandits given the current market. Good for you guys!

Of coarse those are "crappy" prices when compared with a few years ago. But $30 across the board for MN marten would bode quite well for AK marten. There was just a sale in Canada (Thompson Tables) where I think marten averaged $28 USD.

He bought 4 marten. They could have been 4 dark males? He could have a market for a small number of marten? I wouldn't read much into this. As far as the $28 average at Thompson, the marten tend toward pale according to Northof50 and the Auction that gave advances are most probably low balling after last years mess.

^^^^^ I agree; it just seems that across the board for all the species he sold the averages weren't too bad, relatively speaking. Plus, $80 castor, not too bad.

Dirt, I don't think you realize the heft or size of MN. marten.

Sure they could be 4 dark to Bown XL semi hevis worth $30 a piece. Not out of line with current prices at Auction

Semi's last June. XL Semi will put you in the $40 to $45 range. LGE *I BR 3 245 30.00 229466 225 29.00 229467 225 29.00 229468 99 29.00 229469 LGE *I LBR 3 245 28.00 229470 225 28.00 229471 225 28.00 229472 225 29.00 229473 134 29.00 229474 LGE *I PL-XP 3 252 28.00 P.S. I found the pictures and they don't look pale or orange XP. Size looks like LG to XL. Didn't need to see the humanely caught by the Arse one on the internut.

The market this year is different. And not many Xlg #1 MN. marten, I agree with the butt caught comment.
