I've been to a few up scale places and they still don't wear fur. Fur In the USA Is a dead issue.

How many trappers are actually wearing fur clothing? Kind of hypocritical to be talking about how great of a resource fur is, but then not actually using any. I'm sure there's more trappers not wearing fur than there are trappers who wear fur (Especially on a regular basis) Fur is worn by women waaay more than it’s wore by men. Most trappers are also men. Other than hats wearing fur (like a. Luxurious coat) would make you look feminine and you’d be ridiculed, and bombers are out of style.

I purchased a full length beaver coat for my wife. The coat was on sale and I got it for less than my Beaver Plus furrier costs. I sold the beaver and paid for the coat.

Hey guys, I hear a lot of talk on this subject. I got my check from fha yesterday, and I’m really wondering if this is end of the industry as we know it. I know there’s a lot of variables to it, but in what’s your opinion? Will the market ever come back? With the exception of coyotes and maybe muskrats, trapping for an appreciable monetary return is without doubt over for the next couple of years. Starting October 25th in your area will net you less than fully prime fur with the possible exception of red fox, those are now worth $1-2 fully prime unless skinned, stretched and dried properly. You might find any species of furbearing animal that is not considered Prime is not saleable in this market we have today, with the exception of hatter beaver. So, start when you want to but if you're looking to sell your fur it will be wise to wait.

Whats your tolerance for reality? 10 years from now, most of the knowledge base in this industry will be pushing daisies. That in itself can be an opportunity! When prices do pickup in a few decades very few will know how to grade well. That worked well for me back about 1980. I don't expect to have that chance again Marty!!
