That was the most confusing muskrat auction I ever witnessed. Mark Downey was jumping all around on the lots, & skipping way ahead without explanation or hammer strikes. I quickly gave up trying to monitor & follow my lots. What a goat rope this rat auction was this go-around !!!  w He called out the lots if no bids on his valuation went to the next string...... I had top lot at $5.00, if he never hit the hammer down it did not sell. They sold maybe 1/4 of the lots, maybe less...

Walleyed - I agree. You couldn't follow the muskrat auction at all. Very poorly done.
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Sask, if Walleyed got $7 for rats $5 wouldn’t be top would it? Just saying, I did not see any sell for $7 but they did go quick through the lots as there was not a lot of bids.

I thought otter were weak compared to the country auctions.

What a goat rope this rat auction was this go-around !!! w Found it more value to put the utube speed at 1.75 play-back speed, especially during the blood-bath of the muskrat auction. Did notice that he bought several lots for himself. For those that dont know - this video is not saved at the end of the day play back speed is the little curser under the red line with the GEAR mode -select and then go to speed.

I didn't say I got $7.00 for any rats. I said I thought I heard $7.00 for top (1st) lot # 001. I may have been mistaken as Downey blasted thru the lots so quick without saying anything it was impossible to make head nor tail out of it. I never heard him vocalize even one of my lot numbers. It was a terrible excuse for a rat auction event for following along. w
