Uke and his marten paradise. Less lynx? Lower fisher numbers? Higher squirrels numbers? Not sure why your line is so awesome but glad it has proven sustainable over the years with great quality. Your doing a great job.

I have work and personal commitments keeping me away so far. Sounds like a Christmas and New Years start for me.... not historically my best weeks.

Uke always gets good numbers of marten and Top Lot prices as well. Well done Uke, you are setting a high bar for the rest of us.

Slow start this year only 6 so far. Lots of ermine setting off traps, good fisher numbers and plenty of lynx, to many apex preditors.

Super cool. I wonder if there is a fur market for that. But I’d go the taxidermy route myself...

Default NAFA Top Lot

Hey Guys,

Finally got my fall mailer from NAFA with my top lot awards for the past year. Managed to get 9 top lot awards: 4 marten, 4 mink and a fisher. How'd you all make out?

Uke, well done, but you are making the rest of us trappers look like "Babes in the woods"
