Was just on the FHA site...looks like they're hitting back on green beaver sales in Canada. At least I interpret it that way since they're talking Canadian dollars.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I pointed that out a long time ago. If you sell your beaver frozen and folded in HALF that is how much you get paid-Half,lol. Good slogan.

Double for more than just beaver too. Lynx marten and castor too by the looks of it. Big benefit to the trapper when the fur is actually graded and not just bought at one generic price.

It must be noted that the FHA put out in record time this go round....Daily Updates and prices, and a breakdown on sizes of their #1 beaver and other items The GFW measurements take into consideration the sizes of frozen now lets look at some of the prices not included; -Ontario royality per pelt =$ 3.50 even smalls actual is $2 - shipping cost bag is $ 15 so .50 / pelt -commission deduction @ 11% - grade1 prices not all in <only 20% get into this grade> refer to their table for actual prices coming soon Somewhere there are 10K Ontario beaver pelts missing from the FHA pick-up truck
yes BP every day I drive by where that Seven Oaks massacre happened.

I can give you real numbers. I was offered 75 to 130 tops for 5 lynx I brought to the GFW truck. When I told him that was too low.(I know what fur is worth)GFW said ship to auction,so I did.
I recieved from FHA 258 top and 220 av.
I am not sure what GFW offered for marten I believe it was 45 and 60 At FHA I recieved 122 top and 93 avg.
Shipping is not per bag. So even after all deductions I did near double at FHA. My top beaver was 76,avg 45.And those are all in prices including XS's
I think you will see GFW raise his offers after the FHA sale if he wants to compete.

I averaged $29.10 before deductions on 70 beaver this sale. 4$ cheaper than last year. The country is looking pretty good to me. Ouch

Please do NOT put “words in my mouth”!!!!!!
my apologies No those are my lynx prices.The same 5 lynx I offered to GFW. and a verbal over the phone you were told to send to market as your best option beaver Royalities are $2 this year not $ 3.50 but will be going up based on this year sale prices

bozo blabbing again about stuff he doesn't know, not all fur is CANADIAN supreme fur! Scrape a beaver get an extra dollar for this southern stuff OR spend your time getting twice as many beaver instead of standing over a fleshing beam half the night. It's a coin flip if you have northern fur but for southern guys shipping isn't an option, how much would it cost to mail 200-500 beaver up north? Then wait a year and hope the market doesn't collapse before they sell.
Not my circus, not my clowns.
