Not a loss for the beav.
All gravy on the nuisance line.

What size were the $4 rats and $2.75 rats? I brought a couple of carcass coyotes my dad shot and got $7 and $10 for them or 3 pairs of gloves, I chose the gloves.

The rats were all put up. The 30 rats all measured 17" and better. I had a lot of small grey backs and there was some damage.
Boco Is right those 70 rats brought $700.00 + the set up fees.
The beaver was XLG . But was caught In Oct not well furred out. But for $515.00 i can't complain. lol

I was the only one I saw that had fur. Everyone else was selling deer hides. But I was 5th in line so I don't know what sold later.

Beav did OK, but I think with the current coyote market I'm more impressed with a $10 and $7 offer for carcass coyotes that were shot.

The coyotes are going to start moving. There’s new high end jacket makers that are using real fur. I don’t get that many coyotes but that’s my prediction anyways.
I wore the GFW on the line last weekend and it gets the thumbs up. Didn’t really want to wear an expensive jacket out there, but the wife convinced me, when else will I wear it?…lol. Pretty light too compared to my old 511 parka.

I would hope that FHA will still be In business.
If you look at last year's coyote prices you will see that if you leave the feet on and keep the lower lip in place the price was just about doubled on the same grade. So, a little extra work may get you more money. Groney Isn't going to pay the difference.

If I trap any coyotes, I'm going to be very selective and leave the feet and lip on.

Didn't know that. I can't tell by looking through the sold catalogue.
