Beaver going to be off about 25% from last year. No market what so ever for our coyotes. Skunks holding their own as well as otter.Coon moving with maybe a slight uptick in value. Cats still holding their own.

I saw that Mike and like you said no prices. I was basing my comments on what Trevor Barnes and a couple others were talking a couple weeks ago. Like always you never know until the day you sale . This war between Ukraine and Russia isn't helping. If China has a mild winter it hurts too. Just so much uncertain in the world right now.

With a very few exceptional years trapping fur for money just sucks. Dale

It would be interesting to see a timeline of fur prices. I remember late 70s were crazy high. Back in the 60s fur wasnt bringing much. Early 90s sucked because I remember home tanning fur to get someone to buy it. I was big into rendezvous back then. Ten years ago, coon were fetching as much as $65 (my PB)
