I know you all have been waiting. Annie is currently in the Netherlands and just got these to me. Couple notes, the "eastern" bobcat average is high because we put the Texas bobcats in that category. With 7 Texas cats going over a grand we should have put them in the SW category. Sorry it didn't transfer great from excel. Its 1 AM and still working through pile of fur not picked up.

Thanks for posting.
I'd love to sell a $103 skunk!

Great sale! Thanks Rusty!

Thanks Rusty!
How’s the fur on your wolves out there? Nice & silky?

Wow! Great to see.

Any idea on what skulls brought?

Not a bad average for eastern red fox.

Thank you Idaho Trappers Association for another great sale......

I had 2 dozen feet on reds there. I’ll let you know when I find out lugnut.

Thanks mud, I’d appreciate that.

There was one big hognosed skunk done fur out on the sale, I'm assuming that was the $103 skunk, although there was a grease skunk with the feet on that was as long as my leg also.

I was surprised the wolves on the sale brought as much as they did, one was extremely badly rubbed, one had an open back, from shoulder mites, and the third would make a decent wall hanger but was an early wolf without much underfur.

We have a lot of wolves with shoulder mites, but get some nice silky ones, I've yet to see a good wolf on the sale. That is one item that most people sell privately because they can get better money for them.

I remember Rusty was a little concerned over the smaller amount of fur for the first sale. Imagine he's over that now. LOL

Good job Rusty and gang. Can't imagine the amount of work heaped onto the volunteers this sale! I imagine ITA picked up some new members?

Thanks Rusty. Your association's hard work looks to be paying off well. Good job.

I put this together. Hopefully this is a little more clear/easier to understand.

Rusty, if your otter quantity was to double at next years March sale, think the demand is there to move them?

Congrats on a great sale!

What is rockchuck?
Thanks

Rockchucks I believe are yellow bellied marmots. About the size of a nutria. Correct me if I’m wrong, I live on the west side of the cascades.

wws

It's a wood Chuck that lives out west...in the rocks.

What's the difference between "ermine" and "weasel". I see they are different categories.

My guess is the "ermine" is the winter phase weasel (white coat) and the weasel is simply the brown coat they wear in the warmer months.
