Hey Wolfer, What years were you down in the tug hill country? 1978-1989, I still bought after that from Pete, never had to question his grade.

All my blanket beaver went for $50 plus. I wouldn't have gotten that from the traveling truck. I'm happy with what the guys did in North Bay. You have a superb quality beaver up on Tug Hill. I used to buy those many years ago from Pete Smith and Shedevy. I was always impressed. They were always well handled, didn't shrink in the dressing and turned out really nice!! Is Ray Schedevy still living?

How many coon are in buyers cold storage wait for better prices from few yrs ago? Wonder if prices on mink an coon an clearance we'll hold up for next season The supply will drive the price down. Now is the time.
Praise the Lord and Pass the ammunition.

I probably should have asked this earlier but are most of the wolverine sold at FHA for the taxidermy trade and are sold with feet attached and skinned out?

I’ve seen experienced taxidermists work miracles. I’ve seen inexperienced taxidermists botch a perfectly prepped pelt. I think a $400-500+ hide is the last thing a person would want to practice on!

Question for Mink trappers - is new level of pricing enough to get you trapping them in harder next season? Good to see them finally getting some love
Trapping isn’t a hobby - it’s a lifestyle

The Italian designers are the gurus of wild mink garments. If they can move the garments they make from the skins they bought the price of mink will go up.A well designed wild mink garment is a very expensive item because of its uniqueness compared to ranch mink which are all the same.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
