Just trying to come up to Dirt's speed.

Season is still open

Season never closes on grumpy ol' trappers

Reminds me of the otter craze some years ago, guy's turning down 115.00 ave. on them cause they were sure they could get 125.00 elsewhere, doubt anyone would turn down 100.00 bill for a otter now!

Beaver get back down to a 10.00 average you will be missing the 25.00 beaver days. Plus you will have to put them up to get a 10 dollar bill, lol.

My complaint is why can't we have high beaver pelts prices, high castor prices, and high otter prices all in one season? Oh, and throw in high nutria prices if it's no extra bother.

Your just wanting to live like it's 1977 again, lol.

Did you not watch the guy groenwald video explaining the current fur market i posted?

There is always one in the bunch

Some good info to be learned on Tman about marketing your fur....

A) that was a poor average..I wouldn't have sold my fur for that.
B) you didn't include in your avg the ones you held back...so that ain't a true average.
C) send your pelts to FH...your averages will be higher.
D) don't sell to the "rat/beaver wagon"...you'll lose $$.
E) Groney knows what your averages will be b4 you arrive to sell.
F) I can put a minimum on my fur at FH....cause I am a buyer.
G) premium northern fur always brings more $$.
H) southern fur is junk and I don't really understand why your avgs are close to mine.
I) don't sell your poor fur in a down market....cause then my good stuff won't sell as high.
J) if you don’t put up your pelts....you ain’t a real trapper.
K) my averages are _______.......before those FH commissions & deductions....but....
L) when is my FH check gonna arrive in the mail?
M) you have to search for other markets during low market times....or buy a fur sewing machine.
N) I'd just tan them all when the market is poor.....all of em?? 100s of pelts??
O) I'll never send fur to FH again...because...
P) I'll never sell fur to Groeny again....because...
Q) local association auctions are the best place to sell.....because...
R) there are no FH agents in the deep South....
S) wait until the next FH auction for the fur market to set/ establish for that species.
T) Groeny throws/mixes seller's fur up into the truck b4 a price is agreed upon.
U) you didn’t use enough nails on those beaver pelts.
V) those bit up/mis-stretched beaver brought nearly same $ as perfect beavers.
W) is that in Canadian or US dollars?
X) shearable beaver always bring more $ than hatters.
Y) I haven't trapped or sold any fur in years, but take my advice...
Z) FH is ran by trappers and NAFA went bankrupt.

I ran out of alphabet.....

AA) Such and such a buyer is a crook, even though I've never actually dealt with him.

BB) FH auction report: Averages Shown are Sundry Owner 1st Section Goods. Hmmm? Why not the real sales average?

And finally,

With apologies to Cat Daddy !!!!

GROENY ROCKS !!!!!

CC) I got my tail kicked on the grade and the price, but I walked away with check in hand and didn't have to WAIT!

DD) you deserve a pay raise for all that swamp it was great

This site amazes me with all the math wizards and fur market experts sharing their make believe knowledge.

Nice job Walleyed! You sold the desireable fur for a nice price and average, and where the buyer lowballed on less desireable you pulled back to find a better market for those furs. Probably 99% of the others on here would have sold all because they're too lazy to market their furs wisely and then come on here and cry that groeney ripped them off.

You set a fine example on how to properly market your fur.

You can only skin a beaver once,
but you can skin a beaver trapper
over, & over, & over again !!!

Letter X about sums it up.

so what happened to; Alpha, beta, gamma, Delta
and so forth through the Greek alphabet

I didn't take that class. Only had English.

Print that off Swamp and see if you can get Boco to initial about half of them!
