If someone sends in a 100 coyotes that 144$ average is tuff to accomplish.
I’ll stick to my local buyer.
GFW is paying $100 average for what they grade II pelts ($125, $100 and $75). We've been using $130 as a benchmark but I was offered $118 only for my best pelts. In the June NAFA auction last year forty-five (79%) of mine were graded II (late season). Only two were labeled and one was a DG3.

COYOTE TOTAL & AVG PRICE 57 152.10

Coyotes are on FIRE! At the North Dakota fur auction they averaged +$170. I don't want to make any bold predictions but it looks like coyotes will do very, very well this season.

All that I'm saying is that Trappers should at least wait until after the FHA sale before selling to a buyer so they know what the market value is.

Oilers time!
