latest fur auction results.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Just saw these on the Idaho Trappers Association site. 

Lines won't post well but it quantity offered/Average/high and %sold. 

I like seeing the %sold being at 100%. Might mean there is speculation that there will be some market, especially on things like coons (even though the price is low)

The skunk surprises me and add to that the market for the essence and it might make sense to target them.

Im surprised they don't breakout coyote by region but since it is a state one, assuming they're all considered western.

[WNYTRPR]

These prices don’t reflect our eastern prices .

[WNYTRPR]

Lots of novelty buyers present driving up prices such as skunks .

[dmandoes]

What trap went for $1056?

[Bolt action]

This is interesting. I don't know anything about furs or the fur market, but was surprised to see things like fox squirrel, raccoon, and skunk on here.

[BizCT]

Bobcats paying nicely. Those cross fox are awesome. I was hoping to see and shoot one each time I was in canada but never saw one.

I understand that. That's why I clearly said it was from Idaho. It obviously doesn't reflect what southern fur is going to bring either. I was more shocked at the 100% sales.

Assuming it's used as a lure for setting traps?

[johnplav]

Is everyone ignoring the fact that an otter penis bone is worth $0.51?!?!?

It is ,but it’s real use is for the purfume industry,and some food .

Beaver prices are terrible,driving up the castor price ,due to not many people trapping them .

It's customary in many Canadian hunting camps to stir soup with a black bear penis bone. I brought home a wolf penis bone as souvenir once.
