It’s amazing this would be posted on Facebook and not on this trapping page. Internet trappers in full swing.

SE we only put it out in the ATA FB group because that is where the large majority of the trappers that put fur in the auction are, not here. But hopefully some of our fellow Alaskan trappers will see the numbers and consider joining and supporting the ATA.

Those are really good prices on the hooped beaver and muskrat, but believable. Some of those other numbers look bogus, raw ermine at $20 and $36 averages? Or raw muskrats at $32? And I've no idea what the averages on antler are doing, not by the pound I'm pretty sure. Yet your marten averaged much less than mine down here. Coyote, beaver, mink, otter, etc. look good. Good prices, but you guys have good fur. But then beaver skulls for $53, they didn't average 53 cents at our sale this weekend. I had never contemplated sending fur and stuff to Alaska to sell, but if you are getting over $50 a beaver skull, I could see why non-Alaskans might try to!

Pretty sure those are Canadian dollars.

Dirt US Dollars.

Bearcat Our Auction is very unique in that a majority of the buyers are tourist coming to see the start of the Iditarod. You have a few Alaskans buying for wall hangers, and of course a few fur buyers. Ermine, the Texas Polar Bears sell like hot cakes and those are the correct averages for them and muskrat.
As for the antler, normally found by trappers on the line, and that avg is for 1 antler, The high I believe was $325. We haven't done the avg on the State Hide and Horn Auction yet but those are all pretty much matching sets, i seen two sets go for over $500 each. The high for a bear was bought by Russel Knight for $1500. Years past seen them go for higher.
