I have a crafter order for six (feet on) @$85 right now. That said, last year I averaged $70 at the association sales w/o feet on but nice wide tails. All the otter I sell are not regular fur market sales.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

FHA is fairly optimistic about Otter this year, up about $10-$12 average from last year. Marten and cats will be the money ticket, and even rats are supposed to be able to be sold well. Not for a lot, but things are headed in the right direction (except for coyotes). That appears to be a DOA market. Skunks are probably anybody's guess. Quality Red Fox are supposed to be generating interest as well. Let's see if this is clairvoyant or not.

That's up 25% from last year in December at Maine's sale. Not bad.

Are these stretched and dried or green?

Thanks for those that have posted pricing. Appreciate it.

Remember when Pales were the talk of the town. Had two at NAPA that went 325.00 each. Had a top lot Beaver that year too. Not bad for S.E. Virginia.

If you took them to NAPA now, you'd be lucky to trade them for a decent oil filter. smirk
