So was the rat hanging in the same place as your coyotes and other furs? If yes then the bugs that ate the hole in the rat are probably on your other furs. Thus when delivered to the depot they can transfer to hides brought in by other trappers and could hitch a ride to the auction. You talk about doing a good job at putting up your fur, so why not take the steps to insure you hides are bug free. By the time your bug infested hides get get to the auction their value could go down. As well as the hides of other trappers that your bugs transferred to.
