I called and emailed. On the phone I was told some coons sold. The email has not been answered. My account is still not updated. like I said I did not trap much in the 19-20 season either. That is the fur they have and that they sold. It would have been nice to have gotten a paper receipt as to what sold with the check if they are not going to up date my account on line.

Uh you can make money trapping....?

I started trapping in the early 1950s and then trapped mink alone because that is what we had. Later as i became more proficient and better equipped I became a "money trapper' as i have described myself on many occasions. My goal each year was to maximize my financial return by trapping whatever animals I thought would achieve the goal. I had equipment and knowledge that permitted me to shift from species to species, among those that lived where I lived. I studied markets thoroughly each year and by early fall had developed a plan that I thought would give me the best chance to achieve my goal, As my annual trapping produced fur, I marketed through auction houses, first to Hudson Bay in Winnipeg, later to successor Canadian auctions, when I thought that they offered better returns than local markets which I often used also. I often held fur from season to season if markets softened seasonally. I did not guess correctly every year but certainly came out far ahead over a 50 year window by informed selection of which species to target, careful fur handling and informed marketing. In the current markets and at my advanced age, there is no way that I could even break even so I have not set traps the last two seasons. Today, the only animal that I could still catch decent numbers of are raccoons and even if I could still take a few hundred each season, their pelt values would not cover my gas bill..

All I can say, it pays better than duck hunting.

Always like the look on a landowner/farmer's face when I tell them what beaver fur is bringing!
