Yes exactly. I see a number of I Black that sold for nice $. Considering the work involved its sad what the typical grey/brown goes for. $120-$140usd??? For the work involved, I can’t justify sending them to auction. I will have tanned and sell privately.... or stack them up on my couch. Here’s hoping my one 3XL Sel marten goes for big $. 15 minutes for the marten. Total 5 hours/wolf for likely the same price. I love snaring wolves, but apparently not in it for the money.

I'm positive this is new and I'm not sure why they would remove it. It sucks. It took me about 10 clicks to accept that fact that the feature is gone. All in all I'm happy with the new site. Its layout is alot cleaner. They just removed the best feature which is confusing.

Anyways, Best of luck Dave on the sale!!. I'll be up drinking coffee bright and early. Kinda feels like Christmas eve.. Lol. Cant wait!

It’s a newly developed website so it might take a bit for everything to come together. Maybe I’ll have to PM Kingrat to find out how I did at auction. That was weird.

I’m sure that we’ll do great with coyotes but good luck nonetheless.

Yes wolves that are complete have their feet done up and are sold mainly for taxidermy, dont waste your time doing up ugly ones though just because they have their feet doesn't mean they're worth lots. Most (normal) looking ones from our parts are worth what a coyote is and usually less, with 3 times the work.

I thought it was hilarious, really what are the odds. Some of the guys in the states were neat to look at with all their coons. Lol.

Not bad on the coyotes. Just trying to figure out the new site to see what every thing sold for. Following along with the live auction prices were strong.

I’m happy with coyotes considering I know I had some early ones in my first batch.

I too got a little nervous when I saw the top lots sell but then things held pretty strong thru the rest.

Default black wolves

Guys, that hunt wolves, if you want blacks always seen lot more in foothill country especially in the Bighorn area. Assume we will be able to hunt and trap area in future. Jasper seems to have dominant black wolves as well, so fringe areas of park should produce well.

I'm really happy with my coyotes on this sale. Sent in 44 total & 7 of them had shoulder mites to some degree, but I still processed & sent them all in. My average on 44 was $99.99 US.

You are so right.

Would you not think that they would do a web site change in the summer and not before the most important sale of the year?

I guess I'm just an old trapper that does not trust all this electronics sh**

Got in to see my beaver, thanks. I can't get into the live auction though. I don't expect much for my red fox anyway. I just hope that they sell for whatever I can get.

Did you catch the brain fart he had and started the bidding on the one lot at 4 bucks. The guys went crazy and it went for 10 or 11 it was supposed to start around 16 and after he swore. Lol.

I had some ferrets with them that didn't sell. 10 years later I had completely forgotten about them and then this cheque comes in the mail - apparently 10 of the 40 sold and I got $60. I'm waiting for the big jackpot on the last 30. Surely they are still good after 30 years
