That's looking a little better to me. Fisher avg around $80, marten $70-80. And almost all sold.
Lynx was a little lower then I thought. Hopefully NAFA does a little better too.

I wonder if those muskrats were Winter ones. I don't remember the January NAFA auction average for them but it seems up a bit to me. I think that auction must have had a lot of Fall rats on it. That's where all mine were.

I just read this on another forum:

"My big concern on FHA auction results are section 1 only to calculate the average. Makes the average look better but does not include the lower grades."

If that's true then it's no wonder that the average is higher than NAFA's. Can anyone confirm the statement above?

I'm wondering if the average is lower because the quality of the later fur is less.

If anything , the fur quality should have been higher as I feel the first NAFA sale was actually too early for good coyotes . I think we can probably compare this next NAFA sale to the FHA March sales results which have been posted by Hunter Dave in the original post . I know my hides on this next sale are better than the ones I sent in and sold in Jan at NAFA .

I started snaring coyotes in November and the first four coyotes that I caught graded Extra Early X1 and Early x3. Just like clockwork and what the manual states, my first prime coyote was caught on November 15 and everything after that was fully prime. The Early coyotes sold for $70 to $90 while the rest of my I un damaged ones sold for well over $100. The early dogs certainly effected my average so I think that it effecting the overall auction average is a sound theory.
