He has a lot of "you knows" in his message. To me, by telling trappers to stay away from trapping raccoons contradicts what trapping is all about. I always preached we need to control the populations to maintain a healthy population, if we don't control those populations it is likely an outbreak of some sort of disease will occur.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

It cost money to operate......... Everything costs money. Going to the movies, a football game, bowling, hunting, fishing and especially a wife. Those that love to to do it will do you regardless of fur prices. My furs will be tanned this year then donated to my district to sell at fund raisers during the off season. And my wife is worth every penny.

Anyone selling to GFW is part of the problem. They have been underpaying for years and yet they still have guys waiting in line. Find a new market or quit complaining about prices. As long as trappers sell to them the market will stay flat. JMO
Wish I had more time to trap....

As long as trappers sell to them the market will stay flat. JMO GFWC dont control the market....so, how will selling to them keep the market flat? Im curious.

Slam, bam, thank you ma'am, it was good while it lasted.
Then again, the way he sounded, things might not be right with their checkbook compared with the past 2 years. I wonder how much they lost trying sell last year's purchases...?

Im sure the Groenwolds dont worry much about our furbearer management philosophies.

A lot of these comments are head scratchers for me. The man is saying there is no coon market so don't bring us coon. That tough to understand?
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
