Beaver $150
Coyote $120

Maybe the best price overall we had a run of low 2's and 3 red fox (Sept/Oct that we were 31.00.
We were just hoping to sell them and get something for the low 2"s


and a few years ago $18.00 rats (Grownwald)

I was going to add my best but after seeing what others have posted I think I'll pass!!

I've got over $1000 for a few really good wolves before......but my son just got a check from our Fish and Wildlife Management Board for $322 for a marten! It is some sort of incentive deal for good fur handling. Im not positive but I think it only applies to furs sent to FHA. Anyway he had one marten in the top lot, so got whatever the auction price was, plus the $322.

$230 for a cat

Not the most expensive, but maybe the most impressive, I got $14 out of a possum one time.

$890 for a cat last year

$14 possum lol that is the best i have read on here in a while. still laughing. i am super glad you got that. those things are so gross and ugly. neon green poop and all.

I'm proud of my $28 Indiana coyote! Brought my average all the way up to like $14 that year. I really don't know why I bother skinning them.

$36 for a coyote

$24 for a mink as a kid circa 1944.
Best I've gotten for an Idaho bobcat is $825. Had a top lot bobcat a few years back that went for $775.

NH female fisher back around 1980 $341
several $700+ MT cats
hi-line pale coyote $170

$120 for an otter but I will take $16 muskrat all day long.

$260.00 for a Tennessee bobcat

I guess my best was $143 for an Iowa otter.

$295.10 For A Beaver But That Was Payed Out In Canadian Monopoly, Funny Money !!!

$140.00 For A Red Fox 1977-78 At Ontario Trapper's Association Auction.
