Yep, and Groney's commission (operating costs + profit) is extracted from both the buyer and seller as well.

Well If we were all In the skin game we would be doing the same thing. Can't fault anyone from making a profit.
I just don't like the way groney plays the game. If a rat Is worth $4.00 then buy It at $4.00.

This is where it is really at. The reason fur gets given away at every stop. "I do it for the fun" or "I just do it for the exercise" or "Fishing or duck hunting don't pay either" and we wonder why there is no market.

I had a conversation with Gary G. at the beginning of last trapping season where I told him I was not going to trap for a loss. He told me I should do it for the love of trapping and to return to my first love. I told him he was nuts and I was not in love with anything that is going to make him more money than me. LLL

I trap because I enjoy trapping. I love being on the landscape I enjoy honing my observation skills.and always can come up with another challenge. A buddy said to me this fall “you know, the last thing on my mind before I go to sleep is trapping and it’s the first thing I think about when I get up! “ That sums it up. It’s a mindset.


I sell fur for money.

Coyote bid closing is under way. Nothing earth shattering on the first two pages. Think I will go back to sleep.

They are on the middle of page 4. 100% sold so far.

It isn’t until page 9 that there are no bids.

Why should you let somebody else profit off your fur if you can't profit from it as well?

When I trap for fun I have out maybe a dozen sets. All easy to get to.

Trapping and selling are two completely different strategies. Unless of course, the entire industry completely collapsed.

The fur buyers are trying to make the money back they lost when the market dropped, they won't raise the price until they have to, hopefully FHA will keep the rest of them honest by establishing the price., Or trappers refusing to sell .
