Been outta the loop for sometime, but the fone still rings

Even tho I changed my number.

Someone always calls to get rid of canines, 10 years

ago that didn't happen, what's up with the life market?

125 coyotes, 100 dollar red fox and 50 dollar Grey's

Seems like the live market has run its course

Plenty of guy's that were members of dog running groups, ie: Field Trials, are dropping out because of membership cost', lack of running grounds and social gathering problems, Covid. My Beagle club is about dead, and I had to drop out because they had to keep raising membership dues to cover expenses. Not to mention too many old farts dying off with no young blood to replace them.

It's still alive Buzz. Plenty of young fellas east of me running dogs

Where legal, it seems like the exotic pet market is something that trappers should sell to, especially when it comes to odd color morphs. Ohio unfortunately doesn't let us trap furbearers here to sell live. We can purchase legally obtained and documented furbearers from other states. The Exotic Sale in Mt. Hope, Ohio seems like a great place for out of state trappers to sell legally obtained and documented furbearers they caught. Prices on some color morphs, of breeder only animals, that are not tame, can be many times the taxidermy value. Tens of thousands of exotic animals sell over 3 full days, with many auction rings running at the same time. Many thousands of people from all over the US and foreign countries attend.

The Topeka, Indiana Exotic Sales should also be good.

Keep in mind it's a federal offense to cross state lines with a live coyote unless you jump through ALL the hoops. And by then, I doubt it would be worth it.
