Thanks yall

I just like to show that regardless of the market..if ya love it..go on and do it.

The money is good( in our world) but the memories are priceless.

One day when he possibly isnt physically able to hit it hard (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) have memories thatll see him through..he wont have wishing hed have done it regrets.

I think Cathryn is bragging and she should be. Those are bragging size catches of bragging size Beaver. What's a super blanket size Mississippi beaver worth?

I like these Jerry threads. The guy is a “do’er” and does well everywhere he goes to trap, it seems.

Peiple will call me a liar but thats ok..

A super blanket mississippi beaver will weigh 2.5 to 3 lbs and right now at 11.00 per pound thats 27.50 to 33.00 a beaver..add in the castor and the skull and ya got a solid 35.00 misssisippi super blanket beaver.

Ill be up front with you.. that for the most part. northern beaver have thicker fur and southern beaver have thicker leather so they turn out to weigh the same on the scales.



We have sold hundreds of both northern and southern beaver to extreme northern buyers with no issue. There actually the ones that explained the fur vs leather ratio to us and how southern beaver bring the same money as their northern beaver counterparts if theyre the same size.

The buyer old us he wished he had 100 nothern beaver trappers there hen he bought jerrys beaver..hr ssaid theyd never blieve the quality of them.

Paying by the pound for beaver is a new one on me. Used to be by the length plus width.

By the pound is new to me

Is that a "green" or "finished" hide?

Plus I figured castor was worth more than $2 per beaver

Disclaimer: I have never caught or sold a beaver

More power to anyone that can live off of what nature provides, whether personal use or making money to procure other staples
I am curious if Jerry or yourself have any other source of income other than all of the things you do and report on here?
Seems y'all are always hustling a dollar off of something. Ramps, trapping, produce, chickens, etc
