I would bet there wasn't a heavy in the bunch, much less a heavy pale. We get a few SD coyotes at the NDFTA fur sale and every one has been a semi at best. We have sections of ND that does not produce many heavy coyotes. Some people can not see or feel the difference, but there is a difference. What have the temperatures been in SD the last week? It has been in the 40's here. Did the coyotes come out of a freezer? You can't blame the market for all of it. You haul in 50% junk coyotes to sell in a dropping market on the round and wonder why the price was low. The gravy train is gone. Must be getting east river trash. Eastern South Dakota should just be given to Minnesota. Same people, same fur. Anything taken west river and north of rapid city should be getting more heavy grades than semi if they were taken at the correct time.

Well, if your Governor is East of the river we'll take that deal, no questions asked.

$55 for roughly 100 coon in the grease is about 55 cents apiece. That is low enough to keep most off the coon line! $2.88 average on 97 rats, a lot like last fall, was hearing and hoping a tad bit of advancement in the rat market.
30-35% reduction in size breaks from say 2xl to xl to large is a lot in my opinion but then the market is what it is. At least the price break from good to average coon is not too big! (he states with much sarcasm).

Fur trapping for profit is over. Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think so. Fur market will never come back. If you are over 50 years old.....you're probably correct.....we won't see another season with good prices.....but one day it will cycle up again.

sold 87 Rats to GFW this morning in Potter Wisconsin
22@5
34@3.50
20 @2
11@1
most early rats a few underice all put up on wire, only 3 trucks in line, truck in front of me had about 100 skin coon not put up at least 3/4 turn back the ones that sold 3,2,1 he made $55.00 What counts on the 'rats is the average. 87 at $280 = $3.22. Average pay out per species is what GFW or any successful buyer works on. Nice to see some real figures - tks.

I've been in this game almost fifty years. When people think its over the pipeline can clear out pretty quick. Like farming if the crop isn't in storage you'll miss that sleeper market. Don't put all you're eggs in one basket. Tunnen vision is your worst enemy, besides maybe a glass half full. Rich

That fellow needs to step up his learning curve. Early coyotes will be the same this year. We're getting back to a time when people trapped in the winter, not spring and fall.

those early coon worked several years with 15 to 20 dollar averages and a 100 percent clearance in iowa and wisconsin could add 5 to 10 dollars on that but maybe thats why a lot arent trapping for the fun of it because it isnt fun like it used to be for most trappers Yep, and Fisher used to bring $400 and Otter averaged well over $100....................Have at selling early, less than fully prime fur of any species this year! Fall rats will still sell, just for less.
