Meanwhile, the Trapper Survey estimated trappers spent around $2.5 million on basic expenses. I guess if you want to make $1 million trapping, you better start with about $3 million!

So my best guess is the mysterious $13 possum was one buyer who bought one from a kid and none from anyone else. Giving that buyer a $13 average as the highest price for the year. Then again maybe there is a golden city that has streets lined with only prime Wisconsin possum pelts sourced locally from a buyer in New Berlin. Who knows, the dream lives on! Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.
