Doing a 3 1/2 car garage ,which will double as a fur/deer processing area .I’ll be eliminating the attached garage and knocking out a wall to create a man cave /theatre room .Wife bitches at me to at least finish one project before I start another LOL.

That big one looks nice. Did I see in one of your post that you don't sell the hides?

I don’t “give my furs away”LOL .It’s tough ,I sold many Fox in the $ 15-30 range over the years .But when averages run $10-13, id rather keep them and market them another way .It’s hard just to not trap due to low prices ,so that’s out of the equation a bit .

   Hopefully we get some what of a fur market going again ,you can only sell so many tanned furs and gift them to so many people .Much easier sending them to auction ,or bringing to a country buyer and getting a check ,and their out of my hands.

I don't blame you for hanging on to them, hopefully the price will go up for them.

Pennsylvania has had some piss poor auctions .Our fur don’t compare to much of theirs either ,especially if it’s Southern PA fur .It still gives a good picture of how cheap fur is though .

What do you do in this situation ? There's about 12" of snow and where in the single digits.I was going to set up a few canine sets this week.Also is there away to keep a fisher from going in the trap? it's here almost every night.

Just brush out an area and set .be prepared to get frustrated watching the tracks go up to your sets and walk away .Fisher-you will just have to release them.No way around it .Never had to worry much about fisher until the last few years.
