Doc Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 So how's the trapping season going so far? Haven't read much here from you guys. Are you guys piling up the fur? What sets are working? How are the prices holding up? What's hot ..... what's not? Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Looks like you are doing ok. Boy, does that bring back memories. Those prices aren't terrible ...... they could be better, but they're not bad. I never could understand the market preference for gray fox over red fox, but it has always been that way. And why the coyote prices are so low compared to fox is a mystery. The public has strange tastes. At any rate, it looks like you are having a great season and are having a great time carrying on a fine tradition. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyantler Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Rat prices are about the same as when i was a kid, but man the fox price is a lot lower.. all in all not bad... pretty cool pics too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycoyotehounds..BUB Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Coyotes have been low for awhile. The mid western yotes are a better quality. Rats took a jump compared to earlier prices. We will never see the prices of the fur boom of the 70's and 80's. My dad bought many xmases with fur money.At times a weeks fur check would double his paycheck.

CTHunter Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I trapped in the late 70's early 80's when I was in high school. Coons were big money then. Only caught one fox and one mink but lots of coons and rats! Bought my first truck with that money! Miss those days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
