BUYING BEAVER THIS WEEKEND

***BUYING BEAVER THIS WEEKEND***[font:Arial Black][/font]

Someone let me know what prices are paid.

Me Too !!!

When are you coming back to New York, Gary ?

I've got a decent pile of hides rolled up & froze
that I planned to sell to Groeny when the Spring
Rat wagon route got cancelled.

Got to clear the freezers out to prepare for the
fall rat harvest.

Otherwise, I won't have any where to freeze the catch
until Groeny comes through on his winter fur buying route.

GROENY ROCKS !!!!

How horrible walleyed that you might have to scrape stretch and dry your catch to make freezer space.
You could always buy a few more freezers.

Now thats funny!

NOPE,

I now consider beaver hides in the same light
as opossum skins.

They are now a trash fur bearer.

You've been telling us for years that United States
fur is unwanted by the fur trade and now I agree with you.

Have not put up a beaver skin in three years.

Thanks for setting me free, Boco.

I'll harvest the valuable parts such as the castor,
oil sack glands, tail, and skull but unless I can sell
the frozen hide to the hatter market,
the skin goes in the trash.

GROENY ROCKS !!!

Another nope.

There are no freezers available any where around here new, used, or other wise.

That's 3 buyers in a week wanting beavey fur. There must be a booming market somewhere!

BLM........Beaver Lined Matters????

He's not wanting those trashy NY beavers, he's after the good stuff - NC beavers - lol.

Guy a week or two ago was talking 4,5 dollar averages on large green beaver.

Jim Bridger and John Colter would've settled for $4-5 I'd bet!

"He's not wanting those trashy NY beavers, he's after the good stuff - NC beavers - lol."

Now thats funny there!

some of mine from late March would pass as N.C. i bet.

what ya payin for castor??

LOL. Probably made considerable more

That is good news!

North Carolina bvr are implants from Wisconsin, no wonder Guy is looking for those bvr !

I sold 67 finished beaver 3 weeks ago for a $9.51 average.
Several cubs in there. 14 were weighed as hatters.
$4 to $18 fur beaver.
Hatters $5 a lb.
Pretty tough beaver market.
I sold 25 to a furrier for $20 earlier this summer. Helped a little.

Yup,

Like Yogi Berra said:

"It's like Deja vue all over again"

I had 72 up for sale at FurHarvesters last week and just sold one, so....I'd say you did good.
(First time I ever heard beaver young called cubs....LOL Must be a MO thing).

How much big beaver pelt weigh ? I think my hatters average in upper $8 back febuary, caster good price

Most of my beaver collection will average 1.5 to 1.75 lbs per pelt. MY beaver run big.

I need GFC to come a little further south...dang!

Yeah that's the issue for me. Costs almost as much as the beaver is worth in shipping charges.

I only have 50 or so. Green, frozen. They need gone.

Well,that's the best use of those 3 letters yet!
