AH-HA-HA-HA-HA.... I beat Davey... I beat Davey!!!

I call BS. 99% of skunks sold? I had 5 there all different sizes and all selects and not 1 sold or shows up sold anyway. They really should of hired nafas spin doctor he was way better at making sales sound better than they were.

[HunterDave]

Beat me at what?

I thought that the top lot Western coyote was $165.

That average for "Eastern HVY" is HUGE but I'm not sure what they consider an Eastern HVY. In the past the used Eastern, Central and Western as categories and Eastern usually averaged way less than $109 ($61.72 last May auction)......That is epic at 100% sold!

Are these the new terms for Western, Central and Eastern now?

Western Heavy
Western Semi
Eastern Heavy

Oh, and where are the Western beaver?

Kingrat, you must be a 1% skunk trapper. Maybe they didn't want SEL skunks?

Posting the link!

So FHA only lists first section goods. If you look at the bottom there’s a little disclaimer. Not a true average. One of my complaints with them.

Guess it was $150, again, my deepest of apologies. Hope you don’t hold it over my head for months/years to come?

One source sez 13,000 sold, other sez 15,000
$45 USD overall average, but who cares as top end not sold
Completely unofficial and therefore rumour, may or may not be true

Rumours are fun! Aren’t they?

Can be a very good source of info when fact is obscure/hidden/evaded

[kingrat]

I like their valuations, not that it means much I guess but I would've been happy.

[Saskfly16]

At least they held to them and did not give the fur away. Glad they released the valuations. Gives me something to day dream about.

Last post on the topic. FHA sold fur in a global pandemic. Kinda of like selling ice to an Eskimo.

Well done!!

How can 100% of Eastern Coyotes sell and there still be a bunch of them in the PT catalogue?

The valuations were good IMO.

[TrapperMike]

Anyone hear what castor is going for.

[kingrat]

Rumour is fha might have pulled it off the market because the market crashed. Not 100% Find out in a few days I guess

[Marty S]

I just got paid for my castor. My source of castor bucks hasn't crashed

[whiskeywillow]

Am I blind, & missing something, or is there a reason the western heavies went mainly unsold? Is there more to be posted yet, those held over for a later sale in better times, or what am I behind the ball on here?

Seems incomplete

[TrapperMike]

Marty what kind of price did you get?

Whiskey the heavies didn’t sell as buyers to not reach reserve bid.

[Marty S]

I think it was over a $3000 cheque! $3400?

[TrapperMike]

Marty. How much per pound.

[Marty S]

I’m not sure exactly. There was a few pounds in the box and mixed grades and shrinkage.

[TrapperMike]

Marty. Did they not give you a break down of what the payed out for you castor like NAFA used to.

[Marty S]

Honestly... it vanished as quick as the junk mail in the house! Likely never to be seen again by myself...

[Big Grey Wolf]

I think I will start to shoot all the grizzly bears on the trapline. They All sold in the auction between $1100 and $1900. Now thats some real money. Save some calf moose and elk in the process.

I don't think that anyone can tell you right now IF it'll sell let alone what it'll sell for. Like everything, how your castor grades matters.
