Funny you should say that beaverpeeler because my beaver always graded much better at FHA than NAFA. Buyers definitely got the better deal on beaver at NAFA , certainly not me.

But NAFA kicked butt when It came to Otter. Oh for those days of $100.00 averages.

I agree FHA had the upper hand when it comes to beaver. I’m not disputing that. It’s the lack of communication that I’ve got a problem with. It’s very difficult for me to comprehend getting a check that I don’t know what it’s for. Maybe I’ll feel more confident in them again once my account finally gets updated. Time will tell.

I got a bunch of otter off of some ADC guys In SC and most of them were caught In August and September they still averaged around $120.00. One of those otter boom years I skinned 80 otter I made some dollars that year.

I don't think any of them made it to the fur market.

Note the avgs on both sec 1 and sec 3

The chinamen were buying everything back then as long as it was an otter.

Grade was seemingly irrelevant.

It appears they have given birth to multiple sale catalogs in the past couple of days.

Same as when China went nuts for sea otter back in the day only that was even better.
