Common, Walleye...you're holding out on us.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

10 buyers
Approximately 420 lots of fur.
Over by 11:30AM + or -
Bobcat (1) high $85.00 Skunk (2) high $20.00 avg $17.50 Oppossum (3) high $8.00 avg $5.75 Weasel (5) high $5.00 avg $5.00 Grey Fox (12) high $27.00 avg $14.42 Red Fox (12) high $17.00 avg $6.92 Marten (12) high $48.00 avg $34.58 Otter (13) high $40.00 avg $30.76 Mink (26) high $8.50 avg $6.03 Coyote (27) high $40.00 avg $16.52 Raccoon (36) high $13.50 avg $7.25 Fisher (99) high $35.50 avg $27.80 Muskrat (312) high $5.50 avg $1.78 Beaver (356) high $50.50 avg $17.90 Castor (35.75 LBS.) high 5lbs @ $48.00 per lb avg $45.05 per pound.
There were about a dozen lots of castor with 3-4 no sales.
I sold two coon @ $8.00 & $10.00. 5 grey fox with complete legs & paws. lot of three went for $21.00 each. lot of two went for $27.00 each & top lot price.
Sold about 1.5 lbs of beaver oil sacks for $2.00.
No saled 1.25lbs of muskrat glands that had a low 20's offer.
Watched the auction from start to finish except for a short trip to the head. Missed getting the prices on a few lots due to distractions or not being able to hear over the noise.
About 1/2 the buyers were buying for the tanned fur craft market.
These prices & averages are my own observation and not official.
I'm sure I miscalculated some where.
That's It.

The high end of the beaver looked pretty impressive. Newfox shared his sales results on the beaver thread (Trapping Only forum) and it looked really good to me on the big sizes. Of course he does a bang up job handling beaver.

It's unusual that there here the same amount of beaver as muskrat. theres usually a nice quanity of rats there, i guess the big marsh guys sat this season out?
And seeing a 1.78 average on rats, sitting out looks to be a good strategy.

The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I had low water & mediocre rat populations this fall. The ones I did catch are on their way to North Bay, Ontario, Canada for the March 20th, 2023 FHA Auction. There were lots of small, medium, & large rats at the Herkimer Auction from what I saw. Not a lot of 2XL & 3XL rats on the auction block this go around. walleyed

Perhaps the doubles and triples are making thier way to North Bay too! Not sure if that is going to be the best move this year, i have a gut feeling that they are going to get rid of every skin possible while they have live bodies in the Auction room. With the dramatic uncertainty in the Global Theater there may be no next Auction or us for that matter! BOCO says Mark Downey & FHA are going to hold the line on muskrats !!! walleyed
