Me and my partner got 34 marten there. We kept our wolverines.

First time shipping to them , I figured I would test the waters . I ended Shipping a few cats and red fox , hope the prices hold up.

I have mink, beaver, muskrat and otter on the sale but not a lot of them.

I sent 3 beaver and 9 coon. First time ever sending beaver there. Kind of excited about it. Sold everything else at our state sale or on FB. Did very well at our state auction. And this sale should be a very big onel. Imo! Hopefully a repeat of 2013! Im guessing 100 percent clearances on almost everything.

$10 don't mean much until the xl lg and medium prices go up

300 avg in june?

Some fine fur handling there Boco!

Thanks swampy.

Beautiful picture. Hope you get 300 hundred. The experience is worth much more .

I’ll have a mix there again. Otter beaver fox raccoon and rats. A bunch of fox were already spoken for.

Really nice looking fur! What's everyone's favorite knife on the smaller critters? ( Rats and mink)

I use a 4” knife by Lathern Hull patterned off the old Chicago 4”. I use that for everything except beaver.

Nice looking Marten Boco and good catch Mud! I had quite a bit of fur on first sale including Bobcat and Marten. This sale, 7 Lynx, 3 Marten, 26 Ermine, 9 Coyote, 34 Rats and 72 Beaver

Know a guy that caught 95 Lynx this year, north of $500 Cdn average on first sale - has more for June sale. Hope this fur market has strength ; our industry needs it!

Pretty stoked about next season

Nice looking fur Mud! I don’t have much for rats ever, but you’ve always got a real top lot selection. I hope you get graded well.
Did you ever reach out to Johnny Ringo? He’s looking for black rats IIRC. I sent all my coon to him instead of the June auction. The big stuff does ok at NB, but Ringo pays well for the nice smaller ones.

I did not Shakey. I don’t know the potential hassles of sending fur north of the border and payment in Canadian dollars vrs US. Not sure either of us would want to deal with that. I’d be happy with what he paid for the Black rats in March though. It was consistent with what I’ve gotten historically.

CDN?

Good possibility

US?

If so a lot of shippers will be extremely satisfied.

Agreed. Moving raw fur for the average guy just across provincial borders is messy, never mind international. It can be done, but not worth it for the little guys.
I wanted to bring a raw wolf over into Saskatchewan, just for a weekend, couple months ago. The crap I needed to do it legally, forget it.

28 nice big
northern new york beaver, 1 otter, 2 mink.

Order of sale strategy… think it matters what sells first?

I predict order of sale will be the usual.

Day 1 - wolves, wolverine, bears, zoo, dressed goods.

Day 2 - beaver, otter, rats, fisher.lunch break, sable, all the foxes

Day 3 - probably mink to start, finish. With Lynx and then bobcat.

Not sure where coyotes and coon will be since nobody cares.

Day 1 gets the misc goods with limited buyer interest out of the way. Gives the serious buyers another day to look at samples.

Day 3 end the sale with a big ticket item.
