Just curious where y'all are selling your furs?

1. FHA
2. Groeny
3. Local buyers
4. Etsy/eBay open marketplace
5. Keeping them in the walk-in freezer until coons hit $45.00 average

I hope to give my furs to the same Chinese I gave them to this year.

I'm doing more ice fishing. They can beg for furs, then I might consider trapping again.

Probably some combination of 2, 3, 5, and 6. Of course number 5 will have nothing to do with 45 buck coon average. It all depends on what happens between now and then.

I just take mine to the state sale. Not worth much anyhow, and it gives me a chance to sit around and b.s. with some trappers all day.

I sold my first salable catch, a coon in the round, to a local buyer (Oshman & Sons) in 1976. I've stuck with local buyers ever since with a relatively long hiatus between the mid 90s and about 4 years ago. I'll be impressed if anyone here remembers Oshman & Sons.

Where did you sale to Oshmans, Mankato,Mn? or were they broader?
They would send out a post card with fur quotes
to many rural residents. Of course this was times of fur demand.
Many here remember those days!
My uncle tripped my gears with those quotes!
Were you from Minnesota?

Selling to the same local buyer that I've been selling to the last 35 years. Has always treated me right.

Traveling buyers here closest business to sell to is 90 miles away! LOL Have some with stops in the area my guy comes right to the house about 3 times a year.

Groeny had a stop not far away they have always been good to deal with in the past, Petska comes to town and Beadle came in the past but not sure if they still do, had a kid buying for someplace in MN also so we get a few coming through.
