Those cats likely end up in a garment that may sell for $250,000 to a rich Russian for his sweety. I don't think that the country buyer loses too much money on his "advertising". You are correct. It's not advertising it's called making a profit.

But if it wasn't George Kortum I will wear short tight shorts for the rest of the trapping season! Last edited by beaverpeeler; 02/18/25 12:40 AM. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Slick Pan trapper S Joined: Feb 2020 MT	First, thank you again John. I could tell by the bids that #1: it was different buyer than normal and that is why I asked. Also I thought prices were not in line with the current market price I was aware of. Last edited by Slick Pan; 02/18/25 12:57 PM.

If you are trapping spring beaver I would expect to see you in shorts until April.
