Yeah buddy! I'll be at the St. Maries fur sale and the ITA sale in Glenns ferry coming up here in January.
Intermountain fur harvesters sale is in St. Maries on March 15-16. Its going to be awesome, hope to see you there!
Any prediction this yr on cats from our area?
Everyone I talk to says it should be a similar market to last year. In march the average for cats at the ita sale was $390 and the average at the ifh sale was $250. So probably somewhere in that range. I think I saw a few western WA cats go for $75-$100.
According to Rusty Kramer:
"Bobcats have softened some but there is always strong demand for the top 5% of the bobcats caught in the west. If you get bad bellied bobcats, leave the feet (properly dried) on them. It will add $15 - $50 to the value for the wall hanger market. "
