When I walk up on them they're always bobbing up and down and bouncing left and right. Tell us the story behind that catch. _________________________ promote catfish, run over a chicken

trapperjoeAK trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 742 Loc: Chugiak/Homer, AK	I have sold 20 otter locally for about a $94 average. Which would be equivelent to around a $105 average at NAFA. Sure it isn't $150, but it ain't worthless either. You just have to work a bit harder to find markets rather than just having the easy option of sendind it all to NAFA.

Earl8656 trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 608 Loc: Central VA, Eastern foot of Bl...	1 guess everyone has gotten spoiled. I can remember when people wouldhave been happy with $50.00. I don't see anyone complaining about $16-20 dollar reds. I remember when they were 70-75. LOL times change and short term memory comes with it. _________________________ Old enough to know better, but still young enough not to care.much. "Earl"

trapperjoeAK trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 742 Loc: Chugiak/Homer, AK	Nope, nobody can really complain if they get 80 or better. But, less than 60 might be grounds for unhappiness in my mind. I don't think that we are quite there yet. Sure I know those $40 otters too, but you have to realize that with inflation and fuel prices there is a lot more into these otters now days.

Earl8656 trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 608 Loc: Central VA, Eastern foot of Bl...	You didn't mention the reds. I have caught 200 of those in a year. Be hard pressed to catch that many otters in 5 years. _________________________ Old enough to know better, but still young enough not to care.much. "Earl"

trapperjoeAK trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 742 Loc: Chugiak/Homer, AK	Haha. I would be screaming about reds for less than $20. I will average over $35 on my fox this year pretty much guaranteed. Probably over $40. So no, I am not complaining about that. lol.

But then I'm not in AK. lol I'm not complaining about anything, but I really don't think there is anything major to complain about. The futurem is brighter than it has been overall price wise. _________________________ Old enough to know better, but still young enough not to care.much. "Earl"
