You're superhuman. Really enjoyed following the thread all year. Congrats!
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.

Thanks for all the nice comments. Wasn't really trying to say: "look what I done", but just thought to share some money numbers on how it went. I know I always appreciate hearing that kind of stuff as it helps me figure out how what I do compares to other's results. Or even gives me an idea how to do better. And can be enlightening to what is going on in different parts of the country with the market.

Some of us are interested in this kind of thing so thought I would share:
I sold 299 beaver in the 2024 season. They were sold at the Glenn's Ferry ITA sale and the two OTC sales in Oregon. After commissions were taken out my overall avg was $34.80 per pelt. When I add in castor, oil sacs and oil, and 50 raw skulls sold at the ITA sale add another avg of $7.93 per beaver.
So all in all (with 90 ozs of #2 castor still unsold at FHA) my net beaver avg for 2024 was $42.73 Can I ask why you didn't ship any pelts to Fha? To bad about your castor not selling, Fha have been struggling to sell castor the last two years.

Glad you finally got some decent money off them water rats, only thing easy is setting the trap out, after that it's all a struggle.

I got worn out just thinking about those numbers and the work it took to get them to auction. Awesome job!!
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

To bad about your castor not selling, Fha have been struggling to sell castor the last two years. Can't afford to ship beaver and we don't have an agent in our area since George Brady passed away. BTW, 90 oz of #1 and 7 oz of #3 castor @ $60 and $30 respectively did sell on this last auction.

How long does it take you to put up a good sized beaver?
I'm a clean skinner, so the skinning part after I got in a groove was taking on average 20-25 minutes (including castor and oil sac removal) and on the put up I was averaging 20 minutes per beaver. My top day I put up 34 trying to get them ready on time for a sale. (Put up on a Wednesday and sold that Saturday).

Amazing and congrats.
I can't imagine that many put ups. I did 77 this year and my hands and wrist show it. 4 times that would lead me to drinking way more then now.

Since I don't have to jump around avoiding water moccasin bites I don't have any of the above mentioned ailments! BTW, would have had 300 put up beaver ....but gave a kit to a ride-along I had this year since he was hankering to try some beaver meat. Never heard from him again so I assume he choked on it.

It is too bad trappers can't income average for tax purposes. All those lean years.

I'm sure $10 rats were not lean years.
