BP,
Do you have to pay the 3% display fee even if you no-sell?

There will be buyers.

Yep, that’s the point. If your minimum is met you only pay 6%, no additional fees. If it is not, and you withdraw your fur you owe the display fee to ITA for their time and trouble.

Few more random pics this morning:

And another couple of pics while I await my results:


(When you see low badger prices this is why)

Everything is getting bundled up ready for the shaggers.

Yours truly with some of my beaver.

Keep us posted. Thanks

Rusty Kramer, the man that runs this excellent ITA show.

I guess I wasn’t the only one thinking taxidermy with my civets!

How was your night?

Well, a lot of very happy trappers came out of there today.
Results were very good for me:

These numbers are after deducting the 6% auction commission:

For beaver 92 beaver averaged $35.62

I only had 1 otter it went for $65
1 western Cascade cat 30” $177
Beaver skulls $3 each
Wet Castor $110 for 44 ozs
Beaver tails 39 of them for $25

That beaver price looks pretty good. Was it worth the long drive?

Any idea how the tanned fur did overall? There sure was a lot of it. Almost too much, in my opinion.

Good for you BP.

I'm sure that was the idea! And I like the sensible shoes for walking around on concrete for days. Just kidding you George!!

Some prices from the master sheet that smuggled out of there:



I could post more of the pages if there’s an interest…

Carl, would you please post 2 or 3 pages of the tanned fur results. Thanks.

Good for you BP...looking down that price list yeah id be happy too

Congrats BP! That'll get you back in the boat navigating those flooded rivers...

There you go Nancy

Thanks Carl. Very interesting prices. Is that all the tanned fur bid sheets? If so, strange that I don’t see my goods listed. Oh well, there is always the OTC sales.

Remind me never to send tanned Lynx to that sale.

You can’t necessarily judge a pelt without seeing a picture or knowing more details. I’ve seen some real junky tanned pelts at trapper sales.
