That's great BP I'm glad you got good money for all your hard work. Have a safe drive

Super

Yes,but a happy 3.5 hour drive!

BP great job on the otter and beaver !!

You made off like a bandit and wow what a cat, nice put up as well he should of gotten an award for that one.

It sounds to me like you made the right choice on where to sell. It sounds like selling by the pound can work on beaver. It just depends on what they pay per pound. Times have changed in the beaver market. Well done.

Looks like times have changed in the fur market. Notably better results in the country. Auction overhead (additional fees) are gonna price them out of the market. Not to mention North Bay is a “geographical oddity”. 2 weeks from everywhere.

Good sale Bp. It’s nice when a plan comes together.

That's about as wide as a bcat belly will ever get.

Super nice!

If I'd have sold my beaver by the pound I'd have left 20 percent on the table.

Carl, did you weigh your beaver by chance?

BP, sounds like you had a great sale, we’re not sure where we are going to sell ours this spring.

Any marten there? Must be marten in the cascades?

Great job beaverpeeler!

Comedy and a Tutorial all tied in together. I'm sure it was still a great Demo! I've seen your handling, hard to beat!

He did! OTC handling award for best put up eastern Oregon cat. I got one too for my otters.

It was a pregnant female that had been frozen and with thin leather and wet toilet tissue castor walls....y'all know the type. That's my only defense....still it was embarrassing, especially after my introduction by a retired game cop was way over the top concerning my beaver skills! LOL

Keeps you HUMBLE!

I did on the previous sale...just 5 pelts per size to get an idea and it would have worked out to 2.08 lb avg. For this sale a little more fur on them but I had more L and XL's than the previous sale ...so slightly smaller beaver. Probably would have been around 1.8 ...just guessing here.

Congrats BP.

Yes there are. Hardly anybody going after them these last years. I know somebody that sold 10 tanned cascade martens at this sale for a $55 avg.

Boco, thanks.

Calamity ALWAYS strikes at a speaking/demo event, lol. I was at a all black college giving a talk about beaver trapping, had a 330 set it, holding it by the spring eye i slid my finger in between the jaws to fire it off, done it 100 times no big deal BUT soon as it went off i guess that spring eye had a bit of a gap in it as it pinched a blood blister on my finger, hurt like the dickin's but i just gritted my teeth and kept on talking like nothing hapened, lol.

I guess you don't have to pleat those otter tails to win awards anymore? lol. Goofy NAFA and the crap they came up with!
