According to those dates that were posted; looks like a truck route. Those dates are after the Lonoke sale as well.

No and no. Lol


Production at all time lows in the last decade and trappers producing at a loss is why we don’t have a good market. LOL

Just be thankful some people quit or slowed production or this low wouldn't exist. You are welcome! I'm willing to sacrifice for the good of the market. It doesn't even cost me any money or effort. smile

In the trapping world, gross and net have always had equal value.

You (like most of the rest of us) will be dead before fur prices reach a level to satisfy you.

How much fur is being exported it was like 80% years ago the domestic use has never been that great for a long time. Just how often do you see Americans wearing fur in their daily duties and how much of that is real fur then?


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I know Dusty used to sell a good amount of tanned goods to the trinket trade. People buying a tanned what ever to hang in the house. Why buy more expensive northern fur when the guy buying it doesn't know the difference. He is just as happy with a flat coyote as a good heavy.

So this is novelty market news. I was hoping it was a sign of strength.

Dusty made a run out across ND last week and had to have them bring him another trailer before he was done. He had the first one full to the top with carcass coyotes mainly, before he was as far west as he was going and started south to head back east. He has always sold to the trinket trade where he can. I think that anyone who thinks this is a sign of a change in the fur market is dreaming. A fur buyer has to buy and sell fur to stay in business.

This has always been my theory as to why furbuyers are traveling out of the Midwest. Midwest trappers are used to having a somewhat valuable ( and sometimes valuable) product and they have really cut back production.

Then why does he need southern fur if he's buying a trailer load of coyotes in ND? More than he was expecting to buy...

Im sure he bought a lot of other critters there too.

Novelty trade that good?

Hough, Barnes, Carlson, Groney all running and expanding routes this season, has to be more than novelty trade. Seems like a positive sign to me.
