There ya go boys..if theyre wanting that "crappy" southern fur the markets headed up for real...

Somethings going on for a MN buyer to go south for fur when its not supposed to be worth anything..unless hes only buying nutria...

The pelt numbers are low and they need the hudes.

I hope he gets alot of fur and yall make out good.


IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Nope...

You would be surprised at the load of fur Gary G buys here every March with only two stops....one in south GA and one in middle Ga.

I'd say another buyer in the south is nothing but good news.

You'll be shocked at the junk at the ms. auction! Last time i went it was about 10 percent the size it was through the 90's and early 2000's. I might drop in as i got a yankee that wears gay shoes i might visit while he's there. Enjoy the half rotted dog chewed up blue coon hides, lol.

I don't think GFW makes a run from Arkansas on down into Mississippi.

Looks like that nitche just got filled....except for over into Alabama.

Im glad to see this!!!!!!!!!!!

Hatter beaver, good otter, some decent bobcats, grey foxes, and a brightly-colored coon....for what they're worth.

The South has some decent fur and good numbers.

I agree Swamp if he come further south to Louisiana he probably could pick up some more fur. His closest stop to me is still about 3 hrs from my area.

I mean, it can really only go one direction from where it is now.

They may need hides. But if they’ve learned anything in the last couple years it’s that trappers will continue to provide them goods at a loss.

That’s true. But if there were no buyers the last five plus years would the fur market have completely disappeared? Or I could say if trappers weren’t producing at a loss would the whole use of furs died?

We have always been told that a large supply drives the price down.........then....

We are told that without a large supply the market will die.......

I say just trap and sell your fur. Cheap or high....go get 'em!

There will come a day that you won't be able to do anything but sit in a chair and talk/type about it.

You'll never regret doing what you enjoy doing while you can still do it, but you will regret not doing those things when you actually still could.

I'm gonna fuss about my knees hurting, but I won't fuss about being out there trapping.

3 hours to sell fur is close. He was in Louisiana some last year. Probably didn't advertise it.

Dusty is a go getter. My guess is he's looking to the future, markets are turning. Of course, how much is what remains to be seen

It’s lining up for a parabolic move.
