I had 3 lbs of castor and a nice otter. George did not have a scale right there but told me he could multiply the # by 1.65 and it would be pretty close, he was correct. I got $800 and was completely happy, George was great to deal with, spent some time showing me things I could improve and handed me cash, so I have zero complaints. Thanks for all who weighed in suggesting him. George can be a bit gruff but cash on the barrel head and a local fur buyer are good by me, he needs to have some wiggle room and make money also.

He is pretty tough and will most likely die before he retires. When it happens it will be a real shakeup in the western fur market. For decades he has pushed the price of fur in the west. I am sure he does not take trappers fur and throw it in the back of his truck and then tell you what he will pay.
