About how late in the season do beaver and other critters fur become less desirable?

All fur have a value to some degree year round. Beaver for example even the summer hides use to be worth something but with this market I would save them past the end of March.

Beaver and otter are good right up to the end of March
Coon good to maybe the end of this month or the middle of next month.  Just watch the color of the skins.  When they start to turn from white to a cream color stop taking them.
Mink can go to the end of February
Muskrat to the end of March unless they start biting one another that stop.  I seen this start in the first week of March.
Coyote, now if your trapping them in Western Washington lets sday for example, you should of stopped back in December or don't even trap them at all   :chuckle: :chuckle:
