Buying by weight would appear to encourage the production of crap beaver? BINGO! It wouldn't be surprising at all if the hatters were first graded for "FLAT-SEMI-and then HEAVY" and different values assigned to each pile this year. That instead of everything lumped together.

All the big heavy winter ones.not that many percentage wise since I havent trapped that much under ice last few years. Definitely the few big ones thru the ice that sell high price to garment market brings up the avg nicely on the late fall beaver. I plan to do more under ice beaver this winter if my legs hold out and our winter is not too bad weatherwize. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

You don't think that was happening last year? Do you think everyone one got the same price for felt beaver? Maybe toward the end of last year, yes. But I think most of them were just weighed. That trend will become more pronounced this year.

These were shearable beaver that he certainly couldn’t grade in a stack by eyesight. I drove off and doubled my money at FHA. I won’t put up with his horse dodo. There used to be a guy named Greg that ran the route around here…he treated me right. Idk what happened to him. Last edited by BvrRetriever; 10/21/24 10:28 PM.

You have that option to go with FHA (and still recognize a profit after all the deductions.) When you don't other options to market your fur your opinions will change of any willing buyer.

But I do agree in the right places beavers do a lot of good. In other places...well, that's why we trappers get the calls. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
