I don't think the overall average is up 150%, but my average is.......lol
Pretty Slick eh?

These Grizzly's are the worst collection of bears that FHA has had in a long time. Last sale they had nice bears.

Almost all beaver that are shot, end up graded as some sort of damage, unless you shoot them in front of the ears.

We can't shoot beaver here in WI.

The blanket Gd Dmg mostly sold for $37, first few lots @$38. In March all the blanket hatters went for $43. It would appear that that market is starting to soften a little.

The better grades of beaver seem to have done at least as good as March and maybe a little better.

Sure didn’t take long to sell 80,000 muskrats. sounded like 100% sold.

That sucks beav.
One of my favorite is beaver hunting,Did lots of beaver hunting on the river back in the day in springtime after ice out,plus its a great way to wrap up some nuisance problems quick and a good way to eliminate trapshy beaver quickly.For fur I use a 22mag and for nuisance a 12ga with buckshot or a high power rifle.
Headshot beaver should not be a dmg grade.
A lot of beaver will grade dmg from old scars clips etc nothing that a trapper has done in harvesting or handling.
One of the worst things I see often is trappers pulling big beaver out of the water or carrying or hoisting them up holding the 330.Almost guaranteed to pull fur out especially big heavy beaver.
Weak traps also cause that kind of fur damage.

When the auctioneer says….” Are we continuing?”, what is he referring too?

I think that would be asking the buyer if he wants to buy more similar lots in the same string at the same price. Every pound of the gavel is one lot sold.

I had my 2025 spring beavers on the sale. 42 total. All in, smalls to bigs. About half went in the hatter pile, no real fancy ones.

I followed my lots on you tube, so I may be off a few bucks. But should be close.

I averaged $27 per beaver or $18 per pound. Around 10% better than if I had sold in March.

Wants to know if the buyer wants the rest of the string. If you look at the catalogue the grades encompass multiple lots withing the string. A lot of times the buyer who wins the first lot will buy the remaining lots at the same price.

All of my stuff sold from what I seen , Happy with the prices, I wish my otter sold for a big higher but it was graded at a PL pale im guessing the darker otter are worth more?

Depends on the day...

Looked like a lot of no sales on marten and those that did sell mostly were less than March. Hopefully that means they're saving their money for tomorrow to buy cats with.

Here! Here!!

Awful quiet during top quality Coyotes. Almost can hear the crickets.

Auctioneer is struggling as are the coyotes. Pretty satisfied with sale so far. Be watching mink tomorrow very closely

How is it that a wolf and a coyote are closely related yet wolves sell for hundreds of dollars and can’t give away their cousin the Coyotes?

How do I see when marten are coming up?
