Grabbed one random hanger of coyotes and all the fox I have. Going to the buyer GFW tomorrow and see what they offer. I am taking coyotes from the end of November. Fox were spread out from November to December.

I will try post what they offered tomorrow night.

Let’s see who can guess the average on coyotes and foxes.

This is a straight run of coyotes and no cherry-picking. Sorted the coyotes to color.



I never washed any of the fur. Gave them a quick rub with borax and a good brushing.

Beautiful fur, thanks for sharing. Good luck

Didn’t you get the email from the people helping GFW tomorrow? They said coyotes will avg $35-45 for the TOP 3 Grades. A month ago they said we’d be looking at $70 avg’s. The absolute best thing about tomorrow is that Xtreme Range Outfitters ( the place holding the fur buying) is also a FHA depot. I’m imagining there’s going to lots of (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) off trappers who’ll be saying NO to GFW and be walking to the other side of the store and sending their stuff to the auction.

Hope you make a bunch, nice looking critters.

Dandy dogs.
$400 is my guess

$65 for the coyotes and 15 for the fox from the gfw guy.

$55.00 ave for Coyotes and $27.50 for the Fox

Good luck les, like always well handled fur.

30 on yotes 12.50 on fox. But I think there worth a lot more myself

this year 37 dollar average last year 110

40 on coyotes 18 on fox.

Coyotes: $32.50
Fox: $14.75

$47.33 avg on ki yote ees and $12.10 on the fox.

56 $ US coyotes
Fox 18.$ US
Good luck LES

70 $ coyote, 20$ fox, wow those fox have the longest fur I've seen

Guessing 42 avg. on yokes, and 16 on fox. That's some great looking fur, and deserves much better than current market price. Best of luck its higher than that.

$55/00 on the Coyotes. $75.00 on the Red Fox

$58 US Coyote $17 US Fox I hope I'm low,Good Luck Les.

If the carpetbaggers low ball you,walk and ship it to FHA.

$34 on the stink dogs $10 on the little stink dogs!

$37 on the coyotes and $17 on the fox

Good luck, Les. Glad it’s your decision what to do with fur like that!

$31.50 on the coyotes. $16.10 on the foxes.

So I who ever guess right; is there a spot in the right sided goose blind come next fall for you to hoist ?

So the current US$ to Canadian$ is 1..25
Top row is 35$ Canadian
Middle row is 45$ Canadian
Bottom row is 22$ Canadian

at this point my apologies for posting such a low number, but it is what it is in today's market

With a belly picture the middle row may move up in price since those are close to the desired one that are in demand

Beautifully handled fur...look great!

No guess but amazing the genetics they for the most part match close enough to use in a coat. Genetics in the states are all over the place catch 100 coyotes cant match 10 up. Best put a wall up at your border to keep out our dogs.

Yep! Poor groenys out of other peoples yuans.

Looks good!! I’m not sure what I’m going to do with mine. 5 days warning didn’t give me enough time to get off work tomorrow to go to the buying spot. Where are you meeting gfw at?

Good looking fur

$70 average on the coyotes, $7 on the fox.

Oh my


That's some good looking fur, I hope you do well.

You been smoking weed?

He is out ice fishing so must be what he is burning in the iceshack stove.....and back drafts.

Now is a man after my own heart buy high ,,sell low lol

68.50 for the yotes and 22.26 on the foxes.

Coyotes I'd take ten of them like that for $70.00 each and the fox $30.00, and pay the shipping you do the border papers !

45 coyotes
16 fox

Good luck!

I’ll go 70 on the yotes and 15 on the fox. I’m not smoking went either.

We’re hanging on to ours until the next buying or auction pick up run.
Good luck.

38 on the coyotes
14 on the foxes

I had 38 ready to go . I split them as evenly as I could. Sent 19 to FHA & took the other 19 to GFW( where Saskbone is going to). I avg’d $42.30 CDN. If u take out 2 that were damaged. I would have walked away with a straight $45 avg.

Here it is

12 coyotes $580 Canadian $48.30 average
American $462.23 average $38.52

5 fox $45 Canadian $9 average
American $35.86 average $7.17

Only saw 2 guys at the buyers but I was early. Guy in front of me had 8 decent coyotes- he sold for $22 Canadian average. Guy behind me had beaver and castor. They said they were paying $100 Canadian for castor which works out to $79.69 American

Needless to say they didn’t get anything from me. I believe they are buying on speculation and I would offer the same if I was buying and hope you could make some money on them.

I believe other markets or auction will do better. Time will tell

Well a top of the line 4wd pickup today is about 75000 U.S. So I am thinking those gorgeous pelts you posted ought to average 7500. I doubt that happens in my lifetime but if your going to get wishful why wish small?

$25.00 average on the coyotes and & $10.00 on the fox
The market must be bad this year,haven`t seen much of GFW.

$48.30 average on coyotes and $7 on fox.....not looking good for my fur this year.

Well see how many guys keep trapping coyotes for money like that or lack of. Saskatchewan has some of the best coyotes in the world my will go to FHA at least competitive bidding only thing her we don't have pick up other option for me is Colorado Auction but will have to see. My fur last year did very well at FHA especially cats and was surprised at my coyotes since I had mostly semi heavy. Did they grade those at all or just nose count.

Last year is past history, This year is all that that counts with this year's fur. Again since November the word has been "lower" prices, "50-60% off last year," "no demand for anything but heavy pales", and here we are January, and everyone is surprised at the market.

Very few routes being run, record amounts of buyers out of the game, and those still in it are "thieves". All the information available at ones fingertips but most have their fingers up their butts apparently!

I sure that some of you are right on the fox and have heard something that I haven't. I would love to get any thing above $15 ave on fox. Realistically, GFW low balls a lot of people with excellent fur to make up for the other poor fur that they take in. My guess is $47.5 Ave on the coyotes even though they should be worth twice that and $8.25 on the Fox.

Schmattz

Good decision in keeping. I’d have done the same..

Let us know how you do at FHA with that fur.

Interesting that FHA is not giving out any advances of coyotes this year......that should tell you something about the bottom line and where it is at for western heavys.

Good for you, Saskers. I’d buy those foxes for the wife’s vest. Bring them when you come for the NTA.

They dropped that a couple years ago for all fur far as I know.Here anyway.

If your coyote are that low, mine will be real bad

I might give them to you………….for a pair of those fancy shoes you wear and a ride on your line in the Prius

I saw this and new you would be close. I didn’t like it! Lol Some people just have a lot of experience when it comes to fur markets!

What’s that Colorado sale look like?

Thanks Lee. You still need to catch a coyote this year. I know your weather sucks right now.

Nailed the foxes……….I wish you were right on the coyotes. Did you catch any fish?

I dont think hes far off on the real value of those coyotes if sold in graded lots at the auction.

I believe you might be wrong. I have a sale pending for 110 coyotes. It puts that offer to shame…..

If I were you I would move to that offer pretty fast. There are 300,000 tanned coyote they can't sell for that or $30 less. Some could be yours from last year.

Private buyer I’ve sold to for the last 8 years. Usually took 100 I had to add an extra ten to make the deal. Made money at the auctions,country buyers and private sales in the last bunch of years……..it’s coming to an end.

How did your sale go?

Our sale is next weekend. Some here think they will see $100 averages yet, but the offer you turned down is more in line with what I figure. Like I said I would be moving for that offer, it may not last forever. Coming to a end is right.

I betting that Idaho sale does not do much better 34 to 37$ averagesish

So far there hasn't been anyone bragging about how it went, other than one bobcat.

Top Lot.

I bet mid 30's with a healthy dose of no sales/no bids.

Good luck with the sale! Hope it runs smoothly and the prices are
…….respectful for lack of a better word

^^^^Yep. Mid $30s. Official numbers will be posted soon. There were a handful of no sales by guys who apparently didn't get the memo or are in denial and putting last year's reserve prices on their skins. Always painful to see guys get all huffed up and take it personally. Most of them wind up selling after evaluating their options and being faced with the prospect of getting nothing or trying to freeze a pile of fur. A few stomped out and are building giant cryo-chambers

I think the story is coyotes can't get to china and consumers can't buy coats, right now. As somebody who has had his product separated from his consumers for two years due to the rona non-sense this has led to more demand. It's pent- up demand.

Dirt, I've heard so many theories and stories over current prices the last few days it may as well be attributed to the butterfly effect.

I don't know on the price, but that is some nice looking fur. Whatever the top prices are on coyotes and fox, you should get it. Good luck.

Not sure if we can talk Rusty into giving us a break down of western skins vs the southern and eastern stuff that was there. They just usually give us the one avg of all combined. What a difference a year makes that's for sure.

Sneaky it's going to be a rough next couple years imo for coyotes or until what's out there get used up.

I'm afraid you're 100% correct red.

If I got heavies I'm somewhat with the Canadians. Historically, in the worse coyote markets, heavies didn't average under $20 at Auction the last 25 years. Few years they averaged under $30. Not a lot of downside potential there. The first Auction scares me a bit. I'm going watch that one from the sidelines.

We would take them for sure. But dont expect any miracles. I would say this. If I had better high quality coyotes, I would wait. I think that is sound advice.

I don't know, in this market sometimes the first loss is the smallest if that makes sense.

Too many quality coyotes being sold at quite a discount from last year's levels to allow the Canadian auction to set levels higher than expecte IMHO.

I'm not saying they will go higher. If buyers are paying $35 for heavies, they are not going to resale them for less. So end users are going to have to pay $35 plus to get coyotes from buyers. The floor is $35 plus. In theory the Auction won't sell them for less than $35 plus There is little down side potential. Might as well gamble for more. IMHO
