Yep beaverpeeler.Time to start heading to Alaska and trap a wolverine.

What did marten sell for? I’ve got 21 to sell from this year but I think I will ship to FHA instead of selling locally.

I remember one year I got offered $8 and something for my beaver collection. I tried to talk them into $10 but they refused. Shipped them to FHA and got $9 LOL! Next season I shipped to a guy in Alaska for the sewing trade up there and doubled what I got offered in Oregon.

My standard at the time was if they're only paying half what they paid the year before then it was time to double my catch to stay even. And basically that is what I did. Became a much better beaver trapper and skinner.

No marten was sold but I heard mid $20's
