The 1% of 1x are those who just did not quite make the double line and are always nice furred and best color.

I scraped 22 in the two hours here and have every one of them 3x and larger. Go figure!! LLL

Yes, if a guy can earn $36 an hour finishing his fur then totally agree it’s worth the effort. And yes, there are more options then GFW, I did not sell to him this year. Changing the subject, there are times where putting up can actually cost you money. I had trapped some late December and early January coons after previously selling the bulk of my catch and decided to scrape those. Almost all were 3-5xl boars all chewed up and full of leather defects. They looked fine in the green but once scraped all the flaws showed. I would have been better selling in the green on those!

I wonder if LL figures in his extensive record keeping how much he made putting up coon to ship to NAFA last year. Somehow I think that should be a negative number. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.

Dirt all the coon at NAFA we’re sold in the first sale. Lost no money there. They had a set of mink they stole from me. I consider mink as well as rats I catch just extra gravy. LLL

It took 5 pages till some common sense ringed in.
Walleyed you brought a fresh breeze of no-nonsence to this market report.
Now for some Minn coyote seller that sold but are too busy to post their sales receipt even though they have posted 50 times since then.

By the way! nice night's wack-a-dootle for some corn=-crib racoon shooting money, would have been worth it to see the dog action.
