Default Competition for our Coyotes

Competition to buy our coyotes is getting crazy! It seems like everyone and their dog is a fur buyer these days. It’s getting very competitive right now if you choose to go the fur buyer route. Bushman Inc has recently announced that they’re entering the buying game. FHA has announced that in cooperation with the ATA they are now offering fur pick up in the Edmonton area. Ya gotta like it if you’re a Trapper. Check this out:

Now I’ll predict that a lot of these buyers are going to disappear as fast as they appeared, or at the very least have to change their business plan. The ones that want or need to make $50/pelt on your best Coyotes to cover their overhead are going to be undercut by buyers that are satisfied with making $20/pelt. Who’s going to sell at $100 average when buddy down the road will give you $110 average? Exciting times indeed!
