I was referencing swamps post about 3$ 4x-5x coon when evidently the market is 14$, and comparing it to the NAFA debacle. Ether way it's a bad deal for the trapper. Nothing was said about FHA.

Were taking about groney and his prices we haven't seen what's going to happen at FHA.
If you have coon up there I hope you do well.

Guessing people avoided coon this year like a coughing Chinaman!

I dont have a dog in this hunt but we all know there is a bit of a difference in top price and average price.

I have averaged 16 bucks at auction the last two years, and no it wasn't through beavs nafa that he used to love so much. I confess that I haven't sent much small stuff, as untill this year, I was keeping what I caught in yote sets. This year I'm sending twos and bigger, but even setting DP's I don't catch very many ones. I've had better color than this year, but I have a big coon and put up right, they go in with the weatern heavys. The lowest priced coon I have had for the last three years has been six bucks. I would rather have a number of people bidding on my stuff than only one guy. I've said my piece, you can argue all you want, I have fur to put up.

When the dust settles I'm betting your still going to be looking at a $5.00 average.

I will take that bet. Put your money where your pie hole is Beav. I have said all along I will average 13.00 or more just like last year. Just more than happy to take your moldy money. I would put it towards my average along with the coon bones I sold. LLL

$13 average on coon this year ? Last year was better than this year, could be but doubt going see coon in high $20s at auction, I have compare nafa results to fha on coon before, but I understand anyway that coon are not as high as a year ago, I plan on sell next week, I wont sell coon for $5 or $6 average. Not when most but not all are over 3xl, wonder if big demand on rats, price drop a $1?

Anyone else want any of beav's action? I have 50 coon out of a thousand that are 2x and 3 -1x. This is why those who do not know all should never talk smack. I was done trapping my 1000 I had wanted to keep by December15th and started the 10th of November. A few slates in the beginning but still well furred. I have never said who I was going to sell to. I know it isn't going to be SHAFTA. I do know that every March for ten seasons I have sold and have always caught the top market. GFW has reset the market is all I know. LLL

Yes Coonman. 13.00 or higher. Lots of people going to be p.o.ed selling coon last week for 3 or 4 bucks but they can look in the mirror and be mad. It is like the stockmarket and your 401K. You only lost if you sold. LLL

Is ethical for a Christian to bet?
On one level it seems illogical.
On the reality plain, what else would you expect.

There is still a lot of speculation with the fur market this year. With the coronavirus in China and thousands infected and many others dying from it, the last thing on their minds is luxury fur. So its anybody's guess.
