Buck154 20,979 Posted March 19, 2023 I was up there yesterday to drop off some furs. Fair amount there. Red fox, Gray fox, Coyote, Fisher, Bobcat, Skunk, Beaver, Mink and Muskrat. Go there if interested in buying furs to get tanned for Trophy room or want to have something made. Link to comment

gobblergetter 5,713 Posted March 19, 2023 Just back from sale... The market isn't good no matter where you sell but today's numbers were decent, everyone seemed pleased with prices. The only cat at the sale fetched $100.00 SPEARFISH 1 Link to comment
rgw 7,755 Posted March 19, 2023 What a day, this sale exceeded my expectations in this market and was way better than any sale I have seen thus far on the east coast, just watching I would say rats averaged $4, goods reds were $15 to $22, a few really bad red & still wet reds will bring the overall red average down because they went for $1, really shouldn’t have been in sale but for the most part even the lowest grade reds brought $7. male mink looked to be $9 plus, beaver $20 to $40 , skunk in the $20’s, cat went for $100, overall I didn’t hear one complaint from any sellers, we had 12 buyers hammer4reel, SPEARFISH and gobblergetter 3 Link to comment

trapoholic 1,851 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) We had a real legend there today, Mr Rockwood of NY state. He has caught thousands of beaver and hundreds and hundreds of otter. I know him because I am one of his past students. Edited March 20, 2023 by trapoholic gobblergetter, rgw and BowhunterNJ 3 Link to comment

SPEARFISH 5,066 Posted March 20, 2023 It was good to see some guys I met before and meet some new ones. Tons of knowledge there as most of them have been trapping for years. NJTrapper, rgw and gobblergetter 3 Link to comment
