Almost ready for the furharvesters pickup on Saturday. It's bittersweet. You have so much fun trapping and finishing fur but when their gone you get a feeling of loss. Maybe it's me. I've always felt that way when the furs go out the door.

Your shop is way to clean, I am jealous!! nice put up too.....jk

Thanks JK.

I feel the same way. Nice shop and great put up!

Nice looking stack woodlot.
I feel the same way you do. Got all the fur bagged and ready for our convention starting tomorrow. Mary from FHA will be there to pick up.
There’ll be a few more beaver yet, but nothing crazy.

I understand. End of the season. There's only the wait to see what it sells for. Nice looking beavs and fox. Hope you get top dollar

Nice little greys, I caught one today on a raccoon job, let it go free

wws

yes, I agree, always seem like something is wrong when there's no fur in the shed

Nice catch of fur.

I understand what you mean about the feeling of loss. I never caught enough of anything to sell. Always keep for myself or have tanned to give as gifts to family or friends.

Have you ever thought of having a bedspread or blanket made from some of the beaver, to keep around and use? It would likely help with the feeling of loss.

I have thought about a blanket out of beaver. I may do that if the price goes down more. I trap them every Spring because I love it. I can't imagine not doing it. Plus it gives me access to so much good deer and turkey hunting. The landowners want them cleaned out.

Those look fully prime for the most part. You'll do way better with northern prime beaver at FHA than "The rat wagon". Good handling and Tug Hill area has always had a good quality beaver. White leather prime Southern beaver (south of the Mason/Dixon line, might just as well be sold green for single digit prices.
