couple of nice big ones today, fur buyer said trap so put out a couple live traps,

what do you think I will get for them, $$$

If the white tail hair trend continues, the one on the left is worth more than the one on the right.

Groenwald was buying the last 3 days at NYSTA convention. Highs of 60 or so . He said this should last another year.

Good Luck Roy

Good catch! Crazy isn’t it. Skunks are the big money fur again after so many years

Heard that before. The hatter market didn’t have the another two or three years they implied but maybe the skunks will be different. All of a sudden I’m taking note of skunky looking places . Interesting how my grandpa talked about trapping skunks and how some people in my neck of the woods raised them back in the day and now we have went full circle back to skunks.

Does anybody remember the original Monopoly Game had a community chest card that you had inherited your Uncle_ _ _ _ _'s Skunk Farm? So apparently skunk farms were a thing at one time.

I know of any Oregon trapper who spoke of having spent a summer catching skunks and penning them (back when he was a kid I think in South Dakota), feeding them and then pelting them in the late fall. He made out good.

Had to do a lot of Web searches BP. Finally came up with this

Interesting. Up here, 2 GFW buyers said not to send in summer skunks. Wait until fall.
TD, are you bringing them put up to GFW or selling locally?

Inheriting a skunk farm is a real card in the game of Life, not monopoly. We used to play it backwards and forwards as kids and try to land on the stock market squares. We had pages of 0s for how much money we had.

Found that one Keith

Nope, this was either a Chance card or Community Chest Card in the oldest version of Monopoly and it had an illustration of a skunk and some old geezer if I remember right.

Time to have the hedge trimmers in the bed of your pickup truck, lots of dead skunks on the road in the fall. It's pretty easy to nip off the tail and skin just that part. Groenewold is also buying skunk tails for $60.

got another big one today more black on tail than white, I'm taking them to Wisconsin convention Friday to Trevor barns,

I sold to Gary at the NY convention 6 South Dakota skunks on Friday,got $40 for 5 of them, and $15 for one of them.
Today found 3 more green in the freezer,lol

I assume $40.00 each on 5 of them?

Why was one only worth $15.00?

And what time of year were they taken?

Yes
dont really know.

End of October, 3 seasons ago, caught in South Dakota.
