Our cats here are not pretty to begin with, so our cats here are the new possum! YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY. http://www.lptraplinesupply.com

Not gonna happen this year, and it may be a long time till the russian mafia has a thirst for them again! All you can do is ride the wave!

Not holding my breath for the next fur boom maybe when we run out of plastic for fake fur.

My Dad remembers in the Great Depression when men worked for $1 a day and the best mink would fetch $30. A months wages! I'm sure the mink population then wasn't what it is today. Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I think I'd be happy with beavers back at $1.00 an inch. THAT was not as long ago either. 1982 prices would be $3.44 an inch today.
