walleyed- I'm not whining that you all in upstate NY may some interesting and niche alternative markets to sell your fur at a higher price than many locations, I'm merely arguing the point that perhaps the Herkimer sale is not what the average local-to-regional sale is going to bring this season. We need more data points to determine if the general fur market is now on an upswing, the light at the end of the tunnel may still be a freight train.

As for South Dakotans needing some alternative marketing for fur critters, I'll let the others decide. I already have one value-added venture by cleaning up skulls and selling them. It adds money to the critters. We don't have any grays here so can't do your fancy skinning on them but the next reddie I catch, I skin it for the taxi market and go from there. I'd like to see the end product (the taxi mount or whatever else they made from the hide) of one your grays if you have any pixs. Or is that giving way walleyed's "secret sauce"...? Maybe include it when you write your trapping book. Like I said, I'd buy more than one copy wink

I also sell all the undamaged skulls from all species

along their baculum, glands, and carcass meat.

From beaver I sell the skulls, oil sack glands, castor, tails,

and carcass meat if I can find a market for it.

I'm hearing that at least one other Central New York

In-country Auction (Pompey, N.Y.) had excellent prices

this season so The Herkimer auction might not be unique.

I don't know the final destination for my grey fox or any other fur

but I suspect they are dressed (tanned) and sold on the internet

or in Adirondack tourist, gift, & curio shops.

I post Information every time I sell wild fur no matter what or where

the outlet and leave in up to the "experts" on trapperman.com

to decide what that information means.

Carry on.

Taxidermist I’ve talked with do not want traditional case skinned animals. Bobcats and other critters they want dorsal cut skins, so how do you fetch top dollar from them case put up ?

believe a lot that go to the Pocono's,finger lakes and such lookin to get away from the city may be more likely to purchase.what people say,and what they really do is often very different.

think of the castor market and what the slump has done to it.same thing with tanned fur i believe.lots out there but they still pay extra for the best.eh walleyed.

Walleyed is correct about the destination for a lot of that fur. There are a couple local buyers that have a niche market, and will pay inflated prices for certain fur. Some goes un-tanned to the internet market, and some is in demand by taxidermists. Knowing the volume that they bought at this sale, this is certainly not a fair comparison to the current wild fur market.

Defend your statement. What prices were excellent ( meaning at or near record levels) outside of Castor?

Mr.Walleyed, 2 questions:

Do you leave the feet and claws on the fisher?

Do you sell your skulls green?

One observation, At Herkimer and Ballston Spa sales the auctioneer is a trapper himself and knows fur, At Herkimer you'd best get there early. Even fur checked in at 6AM might put you way down the list to be auctioned..For my money, these two sales are the best in New York.

Don’t now how you sell fisher or Marten skulls in NY. The entire Marten carcass must be submitted to the DEC , and the lower jaw for fisher. So for fisher you could only sell fisher skulls minus lower jaw.
