A lot of things are lining up to make next seasons fur prices a lot better. Maybe even enough that I could make a good chunk of change if I run hard on these lynx cats. Bobcat harvest is way down in my area, I’ve heard it is elsewhere as well, and with all the other things going on it’s got the makings of the type of season where a guy could actually make some money going all out for bobcat

Nimzy- Water returning to the sloughs of southeast SD so mrats will start rebounding here from dreadful low numbers. If it holds, 2024/25 should be good for numbers. Hope springs enteral on the former prairie...

Boy howdy! I drove through the Valentine refuge and the dry potholes and absence of muskrat was very sad.

Thrown in the towel? I was thinking it was about time to finally start. Figured more than one person should take advantage of the extension we were given. Any pictures of encouragement?

I’m pretty optimistic that prices are gonna be good enough for me to make a run at longlining next fall. Will I make money hand over fist? Probably not. But if lynx cat prices even just hold steady I should be able to come out a little ahead and have a good time doin it
