I got it fixed don't know where my head was can't blame it on the medication I didn't come home with none just a 3in hole in my chest. I had been feeling rough for the last 3 months even though it was getting close to time to change my pacemaker. I had found out that I had broken one of the leads going to my heart but I'm all good now. Just got to get the soreness worked out and should be good to go for 10 more years.

Interesting numbers. Would you care to explain them a bit further. For example, what is up with that many muskrats selling for that total amount, yet the high was six dollars.

Thanks

Yeah, I can't understand the numbers either. Did a total of $100.50 come in from 284 red foxes?

I do believe here is a problem with the decimal placement on some of those numbers.

Getting .50 for a coyote with all the work that goes into putting one up is a real kick in the pants!
The only bright spot is probably the rat prices.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Learning to recognize a .50 cent coyote and not skinning it and putting it up is Priceless!

Just because we catch a coyote, especially in the southeast, is not justification for skinning and fleshing it.

I understand the current market and maybe eastern reds are flatter but selling reds for 60 cents more than rats just never entered my mindset until I see it for real.

It looks to me like there may have been only one or two buyers at the sale; probably bottom feeders to boot.
I doubt the market has dropped of recently in a way that those prices would seem to reflect,

And I know from first hand experience that just the absence of one ore two key buyers can make or break a sale. Our sale in Malvern Arkansas always reflects close to normal market prices if not better. One particular year the above scenario played out. It was terrible. That was the year of 10 cent coons and 25 cent coyotes.
