I guess he has to make up for the big prices he's paying up in Canada,trying to get his foot in the door.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I ‘m shipping 3 coyotes from wa state this week I’ll post up the results but I think he pays well for decent product at least he has always done me right.I have to say a lot of the fur I seen put up at auction that people thought was well put up was pure garbage and they made it that way,so I’m pretty sure at the trucks it runs about the same .

I sold coyotes to them yesterday.. I think Groeny Graded them Decently Fair... I knew what I had. I'm Guessing the Check is Good Too! So what was your average? You hear this all the time when the selling average Is lower then you expected. Well I had some early stuff and some were dinks and the market Is down and so on. And yes the check was good. But I'm never going back to the rat wagon again.

.I have to say a lot of the fur I seen put up at auction that people thought was well put up was pure garbage and they made it that way,so I’m pretty sure at the trucks it runs about the same . I can only speak for my fur and it was put up correctly . Like I posted it was hard to put my avgs on here but I did . It is funny that for how many stops grony has made this year not many people have posted what their fur sold for ,just a bunch of bickering about if grony is screwing trappers or not . Easy to get into a pissing match sitting on the sidelines with no fur in the game.

You don't have to have fur In the game you just need to look at some ones fur before they sell It and then look at the check stub.
I'm pretty good at grading fur. My buddy had 2 just about identical coyotes and one went for $50.00 and one went for $15.00. I kept my mouth shut when he sold but there was NO WAY there was a $35.00 difference between those 2 coyotes. Why not just say these 2 coyotes are worth $25.00 each and cut a check for $50.00. Because when the trapper walks away all he can say Is geee I got $50.00 for a coyote. Just like the coon hunter that sold. I looked at his fur (green skinned) he had some decent coon. When he sold I asked him how he did he showed me the stub and He said look here I got $15.00 on these 4 coon. But I said well look here you got $3.00 on 15 of those other coon. But all he could see was the $15.00 coon. He will go back to his buddies and say GEEE I got $15.00 for my coon. No one talks averages.

Then there were the days of pulling WOOL on the rat wagon. The buyer would grab a bit of under fur and jerk out a chunk and say Well This looks like slipper. No value but It still went In the back of the truck. Maybe not so much any more but In the past groney picked up a lot of NO VALUE coon on his routes.

How many have said they are going to meet a buyer (not just groney ) or have said they sold or they saw where fur sold but haven't posted the prices ? Groney has covered a lot of area so far this year yet only a few have posted what they got for their furs . I know at the stop I sold there was a long line but not really any fur other than what I had . It was almost all people with deer hides . So all the bickering back and forth means nothing if no one post what their fur brought .

Agreed It's a depressing market and most likely not worth talking about It.
