I expect top dollar for it!

BP, if that one has black spots ya can’t even see em. Lol

Of course y'all realize that's one of them prize Oregon nutrias with tail skinned out. Got $13 apiece in Idaho for them. Nutrias even when prime have dark leather.

Fooled me!

Put this one up tonight.
Had to beam it,not cold enough to frostscrape-why it looks a bit rough.

Looks good. Nice clear leather. Are you going to tan it?

Havent decided on that one yet BP.
Last recieving date for the june auction is may 20 so I will see what Otters of the same grade sell for in the upcoming sale then decide.
I got about a dozen otters put up.Some I will definitely tan (small ones),some might go to the auction.
Prices for decent otter has been climbing up last few sales like some other species.

Boco, what size pinning nails do you use?

I use 2 1/4 inch.

Well, been off this think for a week during our little Beaverpalooza trapping adventure. Had 3 Tman members together here in PA doing some beaverin’…. The Hammer, Longbeard12 and I trapped 2 checks together and then Longbeard12 and I did 5 more days just the two of us since Hammer had to be responsible and work. Pretty good numbers considering all we had to deal with. We had scouted some places on private land and had some permission to be there, but apparently others trespassed as you could see obvious set locations from this season. Other obstacles we dealt with was PA’s trap limit law (only 20 traps per person) and harsh weather for 3 of the days. All in all it was a fantastic week and I’m already looking forward to next season. 7 checks scored us 38 beaver.

CC, looks like you guys had a great trip.


Got the last of Gerrys fur done today, Wyatt Erpp brought three beaver, maybe do them tomorrow. Winter is back here, supposed to warm up this week.

Cool pics CC looked like a lot of fun!

Cc, looks like you guys had some great outings together. I watched a couple videos on YouTube

NF, those are gorgeous clean pelts. Last ten beaver I put up have been all bit up. Some terrible bad.

We've been locked up with unwalkable ice and zero trapping conditions for four or five days now. Supposed to have a thaw and rain coming. We'll be flooding then with the snow melt off and rain.

Dale, weather is the same here, supposed to warm up this week, hopefully we can catch a few more.

Good luck NF. Get a bunch.

Hey countrycletus, that looks like you guys had a fine time. What a hoot!

Doing a whirlwind this weekend...selling Friday, so got all my fur left fleshed and boarded. Had 5 beaver and a badger. Got em done, now it's time to dry

YJ, looking good, good luck with your sale.

Thanks NF1 I'll take an end of year pic for yalls later in the week.

Look forward to seeing your end of year pic. Good job on your fur!

YJ, good luck at the sale. I like seeing those badgers. Wish we had them instead of woodchuck. Wood chucks can be sold but don't pay too well. But then again how would I know how long spring would last. Groundhog Day would have to become badger day
