The best thing we can all do for the industry is to keep on producing. The fur market needs fur to market. If it does not have the fur to market then it will have a hard time to improve.

Marten trappers.... keep taking your marten annually. If you find the prices unfavourable, then freeze your dried pelts long term. Bring them out in a few years when things start heating up...

...unless you determine the whole economy and fur market collapsing. If so, it may be wise to not flesh your pelts, just salt the skins and freeze. They might make jerky by then and you can eat them!!!




Why do I single out marten? Such a nice little valuable package item. Little tiny hundred dollar bills and you could fill an old fashioned beer case or two every year in the wife's freezer without plugging the whole food system. And you might not even get echinococcus from them!

Hopefully they worth $150 - 4 years from now.

Lynx, Fox otters, beavers... that stuff kinda plugs up and backlogs... unless you have your own walk in running for other reasons.
