    Where do you trappers sell your pelts?
    At the Trappers Auction?
    How does that work?
    Do you have to take all of your pelts to that auction to be graded?
    Where else can you sell pelts?
    If the prices are very low for your pelts this year, are you allowed to hang onto your pelts until the price rises?
    My attitude towards you depends upon how you have treated me.

    Fur Harvesters Auction or NAFA. They both have pick up schedules where you drop off your fur, and then gets delivered to the auction. They both have good info on there websites of how they want the fur prepared. Basically skin, flesh the hide, put it on the stretcher board to dry, then ship to the auction house........and wait for a cheque to show up in the mail.

    A buddy and me are taking the Trapping course (Fur Management course) at Sir Sandford Fleming College in Lindsay this February. It costs $322.80. You can google Sir Sandford Flemming Fur Management to get details. The catch taking it there is that you have to show proof that your Rabies Titre is 5 IU/ml or better. Lucky I got my Rabies shots in the past so now I am just waiting for my blood results to see if I am good or need a booster shot. My buddy is paying $660 for his shots that he started in December so he can take the course. If you don't already have your Rabies shots, it will be too late for you to start and join us this February but is worth looking into for next year.

    Geesh....really gotta be dedicated.

    Is it the trapping association who gives out the fines?
    Note that this only applies to a registered trapline on Crown land. A registered trapline is a valuable thing and there are waiting lists for them; if the trapper who currently has it isnt meeting his/her quotas then it (rightfully) should be given to another trapper. When it comes to things like beavers there are real world problems which need to be attended to; Beavers flood roads. If they arent trapped then they will be killed by town maintenance workers/road workers etc or the town will have to hire a trapper to remove them in the summer when the fur is useless for selling. Neither of these are preferable options, so the Ministry maintains a close watch on the trapper responsible for that area to ensure he is keeping up with responsibility.
