Dirt,

Ask Boco how to do it. He seems to be working it well.

My Georgia fur marketing methods probably wont help you much.

Groeny saying the rats stretched narrow so low price B.S. ! If you could see how Kramer of Medford Wild furs stretches bvr, nails bout every 3-4 inches. I know not rats but Kramer said pelts if stretched narrow still tan out the size the pelt is. I think Groeny pulling a fast one. Like some sang buyers , one yr you dont have fat roots, buyers want narrow long roots, next year the opposite..... the producer gets the shaft.

I do know that Groeny prefers muskrat stretched on wire.

Still wondering what you thought you would get??

I don't want his advice or yours.

These type of prices are why many of us have been sitting on the sidelines and only doing ADC which pays well.

7.37 for beaver and 3.50 for rats everything was Skun only.Groeny doesn’t rock this year.

I wouldn’t make Kramer’s put up job a bench mark…I’ve seen his stuff after the tannery and I’m not impressed…at all!

That was my point to a T..

Just like buying a truck somebody always knows somebody who did lots better then you Thanks for the post
The You Shouldas and I Wouldas have never posted their results

If gfw is only paying $10.00 for coyotes I dont fill so bad getting a $10.25 average on my coyotes I sold to the country fur buyer.

I'm sitting on about 3500 rats and a menagerie of other fur. I have another gig besides trapping and can afford to gamble. Too bad for those who have to sell...

well said ADC

Groney could have offered half that and I would bet most guys would sell. At least I saw situations like that in his route videos.

Groeny Rocks!

Exactly Jayme!
First thing people alway ask if you say you’ve been trapping or coon hunting is “what are they worth?” I alway answer, “more than a duck”. Lol

Dirt-

Are you saying outside of your boreal species that we obviously don't have, the Midwest farmland has greater fur density per square mile than the "armpit"...?

possum,
I knew things would be low. He asked, I told him I was hoping for a $15 average. I didn't keep any questionable coyotes, threw quite a few away. He said he could see they were all good but no way could he do $15. I thought about pulling out 4-5 of the lightest colored ones and sending to be tanned, but I can plan on that next year.

Saving grace is I have drainage ditches in ag land that pay $50 per beaver. I already have some $$ coming from that, but the season doesn't end until March 31, so I will have some time to see if any are left. The state park canal that runs through most of the state east to west has beavers. The state pays $20 per beav. About a mile from my house.

If the state auction was closer I would have pulled them and waited. But 3-1/2 hour drive one way, I would have lost in gas what I might have made.

I'll be planning for next season. Sorry, I didn't take any pics of the bunch finished, but they were as good as one can get in this area.

Thanks for sharing 3togo!

Is this a secret?
