Here’s the little bit I can pass along. I had 53 coon just skinned, all trapped and averaged $5.64 with 3 @ 12,
21 @ 8, 22 @ 4 and 7 @ 1. I got the Wisconsin rate rather than the Illinois rate because I had a very nice collection that was particularly well handled. Well okay. The Illinois rate was 8,4,2,1. I had 4 skinned beavers and 1 carcass beaver. I got $32 for 1 skinned, $28 for 1 skinned and the carcass one (47 lb) and $18 each for 2 skinned 20 pounders. A buddy had a beautiful 3X Black otter he got $30 for and $18 nose count on 38 carcass beavers. Only another 4 guys had way less than we had. The truck was there 20 minutes early because of very low turnout the stop before ours. I’d been lead to believe Groenwold wanted coon. Still way more than the FHA roulette. Tight chains for those that persevere!

Helps buy gas! Beaver sounds pretty good.

Not bad on coon better than zero and FHA can’t seem to sell anything. I have otters, fox , and rats up there since last year

So $96 for the 4 beavers? If so very decent.

I get $114 for five beaver.

The way I got those beaver figured is 124.00 1 @32,2@28 and 2 at 18.

Yeah my mistake.

$25 avg on green beaver ain't bad. Just a couple years back I was averaging about $14 on put up beaver that were mostly XL and larger.

Not too bad.

Sold to GFW in Wisconsin yesterday. Sold 10 skinned and frozen beaver for more freezer space. Got a 27$ average. Top of 40 , low of 10,all two yr. Olds or bigger. Didn't sell any of my other furs.

Did Groeny make you an offer on your other furs which you
declined or did you just simply not bring them to the ratwagon ?

All my rats are in the freezer skinned but not fleshed and stretched. I will put them all up this winter and sell towards Spring .Probably hold on to my mink .

Thanks.

Beaver are sounding better

With the felt market I'm wondering why any 2 yr old or older beaver would only bring $10?

To bring the avg down.

You are right Boco. The 10$ beaver was a small 2year old and probably would have stretched large . The rest were extra large, or blanket with 1 super b.

Sell ' um fast as you git'um cause we're not having record flash floods in the south like we've always had so i imagine the southern trappers are stacking them up like chord wood this fall/winter. Market be flooded out for the next 5 years.

Had 4 inches this weekend in southeast Georgia, from that low pressure that came up from the gulf.
