Just a side question.....do bear hides get sold at these auctions ?
yes, I believe they were about 130 avg with tops around 450 last year. That would have been around the May June sale.Quote:

Spent the day at the sale today with my oldest daughter we had a great time , pleased with my averages so far and hope this sale irons out some of the major wrinkles the fur market has went through the past 3 months , I'd be a little disappointed if I was a ranch fox farmer right now though and I hope for their sake they can manage for a couple more months till things play out in Europe

I asked because I don't hear much about guys 'selling' their Black bear hides, seem to keep them for themselves. Where to they source them to sell at the auction.
There are some black bears there mike as well as a small number of rug mounted polar bears and a couple of rug mounted grizz bears
, I never spent much time looking at them so I couldn't say how many bears there were but a guess from what I seen on the carts would be less then fifty , the bears are sold by trappers and hunters very few sold as time to put up a bear proper is far from reflected in the price received for black bears
Getting close to the 1984-1987 fisher prices again! Just checked my account and I got a bunch at $192, $194, etc. Wasn't expecting this, as I took them earlier than usual, and most were grade I and I-II animals. Mink was good with over a $30 average. Had a couple get $38, which is higher than it's been in years. Fox prices look down from last year, as are otter. The folks with a good rat catch will be pretty happy - $15-$17 and the best winter rats are yet to come. Keeping my fingers crossed for coon, as I had a good run this year, managing to get a good bunch of select December 2XL - 4XL jumbos with good colours. There will be a few trappers sporting new Dickies jackets from this sale........maybe even a new chain-wallet!
Or we can just pay our bills put some in the bank to finance next season and maybe a lobster dinner for the better half :moose:Quote:
