Sweet!!!
Nice avg on your marten, ours did not do that good but still very nice increase over last year.
Looking forward to the cats selling.
Avg over 12.50 on open water rats, only one problem did not have enough of them.
Keep those cards and letters (with cheques in them) coming in

Couple of damaged brought average down to bit under $200.
Hoping Lynx will sell high too, only most of our will be in the may sale.
Sure looks like trapping is profitable again.

I averaged $171 on the 40 I put up in time for the sale. I'm estatic. I also recognize my marten are nowhere near the size, on average, of more northern marten in NWT YuKon Alaska so i'm never going to hit their numbers.
I just handle my fur the best i can and ship everything that is marketable and live with the price. But come on $171, YAHOO!
Top three went for $245 - $245 - $230 lowest $160

Wild Fur Reaches New Highs!
New Highs reached for Fisher, Can-Am Sable & Raccoons
NAFA’s 2013 winter Wild Fur auction opened with a record number of buyers in the auction room actively bidding for one of the largest and best collections of wild fur in recent memory.
The sale began with terrific offering of North American Wild Mink which sold under strong competition at as much as 25% over expectations to new high levels.
Musquash sold at very high prices, totally dominated by China, advancing 10 % over last year’s already high February levels.
Fisher was one of the highlights of the day’s sale as it sold at prices that haven’t been seen in recent times, advancing more than 40% over expected levels. Chinese manufacturers and retailers played a major role in establishing these new prices.
Can-Am Sables were also a highly sought after article by Chinese buyers who aggressively competed with the established markets for this item and pushed it to record price levels.
Day One of the Wild Fur sale concluded with an offering of nearly 440,000 raccoons with sold under strong competition from China at prices, once again, not seen in recent memory.
Ranched Silver Fox sold well at advancing price levels, with some resistance for the best quality and biggest sizes

Wild Mink: 43,216, 100 % Sold Averages, North Central $38.23; Central $29.05; Sec III $6.44; Overall $30.40; High $184.00
Muskrat: 492,742, 100% Sold, Overall Average $11.51; High $54.00
Can-Am Sable: 92,336, 100 % Sold, Averages, Heavy $185.08, Semi $134.46, Sec III $81.37, Overall $144.31; High $650.00

Wow, really happy with the beaver prices so far. Averaged over $50 for my XL+ beavers. Finally getting out of the $35 averages.
Nice to see some hard work finally paying off.

Lynx did alright, ave $208, with top at $250.
Was hoping they would go the way of the marten.
Majority will be going on the may sale.
Hope this holds for a while but doubt it.
Great to see trappers get good money for the effort that goes into the industry.
