Not with $350.00 license fee and $300.00 a week rent on the house.You would just about have $800.00 spent before you set a trap.
But If the rats were there and conditions right I think I could catch 800 rats In a week. And those ND rats will grade out as centrals so there not going to Make $7.00 averages let alone $8.00.

You’re stuck on NAFA grading beav. Rats are eastern or western. No centrals in FHA. And very few go western. Not sure where Dakota rats would go though.

I didn't say seven dollar averages this spring, I said $4. You could make money at $4 and you'd get it. All it takes is a little patience. You wouldn't get rich but you'd have had a vacation that would have paid for itself. Not to be crass but how many more seasons you think you have left in you?

The oil boom in ND is dead for now, find a cheaper abode. Get your gear ready for next fall, don't make excuses, and rent a house for a month. I'll come out and stay a couple of nights and give you a hundred bucks, I'll chase coyotes with the thermal.

Nothing to see here. Disappointed rat market wasn't better. Internet sale I'm sure playing a part. No reason for Groeny or any country buyer to be kept honest quiet yet Sad to say the market misses NAFA IMO. Don't know about coon but I think other items are going to get better

Your upset that they almost doubled in price with 100% clearance in these current conditions?

Rats doubled In price? I sold mine for around a $4.00 average so your saying rats sold at $8.00 averages.

I'm saying compared to the last auction. Let's compare apples with apples.

The last FHA sale doesn't matter as much as current market conditions.

So expand your trapping grounds. You are going to have recalibrate anyway, I guarantee you won't recognize the landscape from the last time you were there. Aren't you on Medicare? Get the knees fixed! Your are going to start to echo Coonman soon

The average Is before commission. So $5.12 - 11% commission = $4.56 US

To get 4.50 ave. you would need about a 6 dollar basis.

They are done with the coon sale. Lots of unsold pelts, particularly on the lower end. Seemed to be spurts of interest.

Last September I had 3 2xl-3xl heavy rats sell for $6.00 this sale similar rats were $7- to $8.70 which seems like a very good increase but the average grade rats did not go up nearly as much in percentage so now we are in a very select rat market, like coyote etc. I had 71 exl heavies,2xl-3xl semis and falls bring $3.50 to $4.00 last fall, they are up about $1.00 now Still did better on large, xl rats in January and no 11% off either. Will see how July goes if the average market comes along with the very best. Not one of my coons sold and some were selects and good colors. Good thing I put them up myself, if I hired it done I would have to give them the coons and I would still get a bill.
