What everyone predictions. ? Hear lot negativity, no trim markets left

According to another post fur is still popular in the hood. I hate to be another negative Nathan but my prediction is it ain’t gonna be that great for a while...
Since I’ve started trapping the market has been poop. I’ve made most of my money in crafts. Lots of extra work but can pay off. Since I’ve been up here I’ve traded some fur with a native man who makes mitts, bags and the like. Mostly trades with him. He was ecstatic about some nutria from Oregon my cousin had tanned, he had never seen one. Made some cool bags, like with the face as the flap.

You mean in the parts of the hood that ain't burned down yet...

my buddy the sheep says it will be Baaaaaaad.

Oil is low. China is mad. US in recession, Corona virus concerns, millions unemployed, Fashion turning it's back on fur....

No doubt it is going to be bad.

It's going to be awesome fellows. Fur protects against the corona virus.

Ranch mink have never been this bad in all it’s history. Prices keep going lower. Sales percentages are terrible. I think this trickles into wild fur too. I would easily say the golden coyotes are worth no more than half of what they were.

Economies are reeling from covid. Fur is the last thing on the consumer mind.

I was optimistic just a year ago but no more. In fact I am very pessimistic about all types of fur now.

Yea 5 years ago I thought there would be a slow recovery with a freak good year once in awhile...….I just cant see it happening......" I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee"...….

Start selling your trapping gear before everyone else does.

The last fur Auction house follows the other two into bankruptcy. Spent a lot of money collecting that worthless fur trappers produced. Oops!

I been....slowly....I have the want and desire to go big time but my business sense says no.

I'm expecting a fur boom!!!!!

If you still trap for fun, hunting rights, game management this may be a good time to buy equipment.

The only value fur will have this fall & winter
will be it's BTU heat value in stoking a fire.

If you are counting on making money this
coming season by fur trapping then,

You are screwed, coonman !!!

BOHICA !!!!!!

Less than nothing is still nothing. Market stays the same. Half my yotes are red ones and they never paid well. Oh well less competition

Flesh the coon hide
Throw away the fur
Keep the 10 lbs of fat for the wood stove
Clean stove pipes every second day.

Can anyone navigate Groenys new website?

I didn't think a website could be so messed up, considering how nice their old site was.

Should be LOTS of fur to go around and little or NO competition. Sounds like a purfect storm to have some fun.

This all reminds me of the past. In the 30s some lived so self sufficient they did not know a great depression was happening.My grand father farmed hunted and trapped. My dad showed me that also. In 40s and 50s a kid could go help the local folks and see traps hanging in the barn or shed .They would ask about them but none for sale. They may need they in time. SO hold on to the traps. If other countries loose faith in are dollar and are dollar falls to pennies then that 40 dollar mink from the 30s to the 70 dollar fox from the 70s we might see something in being self sufficient and a TRAPPER.

In Canada, natives use rabbit fur to weave into blankets to keep from freezing to death. Maybe fur will become something we can use ourselves instead of selling.
I've sold a lot of stuff for cheap, but still have my traps for some reason. I think it may pay off some day.
