Problem: Demand for fur is spotty and dependent on international markets. Solution: We create demand domestically. Problem: Wearing of fur makes one a pariah in much of America. Solution: Make it political. Most liberals are against fur; so we task ourselves with aligning conservative values with the wearing of fur in public as a statement. Instead of red baseball caps maybe coonskin caps ala Davy Crockett.
Now, any good businessman knows you need to Brand yourself. We start a Trapperman Fur Company. We get billboards of Sharon riding a horse in the mountains of Montana with a nice buck slung over the back and all decked out in some nice "Trapperman Fur". Something akin to the old Marlboro signs with a handsome rugged dude with a western hat smoking his Marlboro.
We get trappers to send their very best stuff to Trapperman Fur (the rest can be sent to FHA) and through vertical integration you get paid what that fur is really worth after deducting for expenses.
We'll get someone to make a catalogue with nice pictures of models wearing fur (maybe Trapstickman for pictures and Coonman220 with the descriptions).
Anyway...I guess I should get my hoe and get back to work. Just daydreaming here. LOL

The coonskin caps were all the rage in 1955. Wish I still had my Davy Crocket outfit. Wonder what those hats were really made of. Tom

Only one problem with that-lots of liberal people wear fur and support the fur trade. Fur is not political here anyway.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Its more about culture here than politics. I dont see how wearing fur has anything to do with how someone votes. I have sold a ton of fur to liberal leaners here,and communists internationally. I believe in the big picture the commie countries use a lot more fur than others.

Got to develop markets even for the southern fur. Get some creative people on board designing new uses for fur. Even possums should be putting steaks on the grill.
Maybe Biden's new deal to bring manufacturing back to America will finance this whole thing.

Everybody is getting SBA money because they were hurt by the pandemic. Haven't trappers been hurt by the poor showing at FHA because of the shutdowns?

soviets and CCP definitly wear fur they don't pretend to care about animal feelings
the Useful idiots on the other hand we are dealing with right now in Pre communist USA they have a hate for fur , trapping , beef , the flag
go figure 10 years from now they will probably be killing for a black market steak

+1 on Coonman220 writing the Fur Report and Market Forcast....
