I'm sure everyone would get along. Seems like people on this trapping forum are usually willing to help out their fellow trappers. Unlike other forums on here. All those nights of checking snares with a headlamp on after working all day is paying off! Congrats to all the snare men out there, and the hard work they put in.

I agree with you and TFNG , this trapping discussion portion of the forum really is the friendliest place on here . Congrats to all the sellers today and lets hope the trend continues for the rest of the sale and year .

There where only a couple lots of marten, thinking there are left over from last year?
Best lot sold for $75 US. Most did not sell.
Just found the results.

Top marten lot sold for $75US. Bottom priced lot sold for $44US. Only 10 of 31 lots sold. Listened to it live yesterday. Not much interest in marten at all.

Is anyone watching the Ranched Mink auction? I'm just wondering if anything can be determined wrt muskrat prices based on what mink are selling for.

Funny you mention the ol' twig in the eye. Been there, done that! That, and the odd willow slap across the face in the cold. They really grab your attention. Congrats on your coyotes this year!

Ranched mink held up very well. I'm becoming more hopeful that muskrats won't do as badly as I thought they would.

Prices Advance on the First Day of NAFA’s January Mink Sale
The first day of NAFA’s January mink sale opened to a crowded auction room, filled with international buyers eager to bid on NAFA’s impressive collection of Pastel mink. Enthusiastic and highly competitive bidding continued throughout the day as nearly 400 buyers representing all markets, but clearly dominated by China, bought all of the mink that NAFA had to offer. Pastel, Palomino and Mahogany mink all sold at very strong and advancing levels from the last international auction.

In the past when ranch mink went high they bought rats and died them to look like mink but now they use them for other things also such as inside coat linings, hats etc so they dont follow mink prices as much as they used to.

My understanding is that when mink is low people will buy mink instead of muskrat for trim. Fewer muskrat buyers = lower prices.

Got a bit of a wait until they get to beaver and muskrat. Ranched mink prices look solid but I don't know what the average was for previous sales. Does anyone know how the prices for this auction compare with last season's?

Spirited Bidding on The Second Day of NAFA’s January Mink Sale
2015-01-28
NAFA’s January mink sale continued today, selling close to 100% of the offering under spirited bidding.
The extraordinary collection of Black NAFA female mink sold out at strong levels. Korea competed with China for better quality Black females, but buying throughout the day was again clearly dominated by the Chinese market.
The Demi males, Mahogany females, and NAFA’s collection of Pearl mink sold at advancing levels compared to the most recent international auction, with better qualities leading the way.

A twig in the eye hey?
# years ago I was hunting pheasants in the Taber festival. Walked thru a willow bush on the way back to the truck when...WHACK! Right in the eye. It hurt like a bugger too.
Next day I was hunting pheasants again along the river in some thick stuff. Walking thru the willows when... You guessed it. Right in the other eye.
I was more than agitated to say the least. The first eye was still red, watering and swollen from the day before. I looked like I had been on a 4 day bender.
The fella I was hunting with on the second day is an EMT and had a look at my peepers. He figured I should have it looked at so I went into the eye doc in Cross Iron Mills mall. The fella said I have two, yes, two, scratched corneas.

Why isn't the catalog listing getting updated with the prices? All that I'm getting is "To Be Auctioned" and I'm not getting updated. Anyone else?
Looking for sale prices for lots 19, 23, 25, 26, 32, 41, 45, 49 & 71
