I love how people on here want to bad mouth what someone paid or sold for. WITHOUT seeing or know what kind of shape , size, damage, or condition the item was being sold was. Yea squash your items brought more than walleyed did from groeny but I bet others that sold at FHA brought less than walleyed got for his. PLUS you ever notice how prices on everything change from day to day ? Heck even Hour to hour . Don't have to look any farther than gas, stocks, or bitcoin to see examples. I love how some here twist everyone’s statement into ,”bad mouth what someone paid or sold,” . All I was doing was comparing, but I guess we can only have one side of the story here right , FHA bad ?? Jesh, no wonder trapping is doomed in this country.

Hippie, how much would muskrats have to bring for you to trap them? Are there any muskrats on the Juniata? I missed your question earlier Jim, sorry! I'd like to see 5 average and mink at 10 to get back after them. They are spotty and catch falls off fast, ya have to get on new ground every three days or so but there are some.

$5 is important when you have few rats. But if you can average 100 rats or more a day you can trap them for half that.

I can't imagine an area where you can catch 100 a day. prairie pot holes when they have stable water your not trying hard enough if that is not the first pull of the day 7 am Then 100 in the 4pm check and with the full moon like now 100 in the midnight check With these weather system now we have some water to fill the potholes, if there was only some vegetation for them to feed in, since it is all tilled under. 3 year wait now for them to return to those levels

Production costs are raising for trappers and buyers....buyers need a profit. Competition is low as well, wonder what’s gonna happen when Groeny retires? He already is semi retired if he is no longer buying coon. Why buy something you already have a boatload of and can't sell? There is a coon market for white leather coons at $3-$4 final sale. So what do you have to pay for green coon to cover handling, overhead costs and make a profit. Maybe it's better to just not buy them than make enemies?

That is why he is semi-retired. Why trap stuff that is not profitable? That's is why I am semi-retired. Welcome to the club, groeny!

Sold to Groeny last year 11 dollars for blanket put up beaver this year sold to Rockwood and got 22 dollars for blanket beaver .5.50 to 3.00 for rats and 70.00 dollars a pound for castor so Bob i don't really think you got the best bang for your hard work !!!!!!!!!!! What are you talking about ? I did not sell put-up beaver, muskrat, or castor to groeny. I was simply reporting the prices I saw offered to other trappers. I sold eight raw, green, frozen beaver plews.....that's it. walleyed

So I guess Groeny doesnt rock that good since you didnt sell much to him?
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
