He had just gotten off the phone with Mr. Downey of FHA, Downey told him wild mink were selling for $.85/ pelt.. if this is true, very troubling. I guess I am lucky, PT sales I averaged almost $2 on mink!!

Of course, some years are better than others. For several years I sent to North Bay then they had some issues. Next was NAFA, then they had issues. Now Fur Harvesters (correct me if I am wrong) which is the reorganized North Bay. I ship beaver, muskrats, raccoons, coyotes, and red fox. I know they will do the best they can to get as much money as they can for my quality put up fur. Over the years I have learned to identify junk and do not put it up. It only hurts the market. I think they have done the best they can through this pandemic and I am more than happy with their efforts thus far. Yes, I did just get a check and in time I am sure my account will be updated. It did not stop me from just shipping them a pickup load of fur.

I talked to Greg and he said the sold small coon and low grades only and coyotes and muskrats. I now hear from a buyer I know that they have sold all the coon. If this is true I will never trap another one. LLL Isaiah 51:6 But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.

The check I got would equal about .50 a coon if true! I hope that is not the case but things sure do not seem right. I have never got a check without an invoice telling me what I had sold and how much it sold for. Been doing this for a while now.
