So, how much will each of those pelts fetch? To whom do you sell them and what kind of prep do you need to do before selling?

butcher98951 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:44:18 PM »

Well She sold all her fur today bobcats brought an average of 145.00 coons dropped in price to 8-10 coyotes average was 30 and rats were only like 5.50 average, we have to skin them , flesh them and trapper dry them, we sell them to the fur buyer thats comes around about 1 time a month..She said she wants to buy some more traps and some new shoes..lol

Humptulips · « **Reply #11 on:** January 27, 2012, 07:06:59 PM »

Curious where you are? $5.50 on rats sounds like theft to me. Coon prices sound pretty low too.

butcher98951 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2012, 09:14:39 PM »

we are in eastern washington, alot of the rats were early catch and the coons just dont have the color this year, but she is still ready to go setting 12 more traps and 2 dozen snares she wants to pay off her 4 wheeler.. either way i will pay it off and let her work even harder for what she wants, the good thing is she takes care of everything she has because she paid for it, i even wanted to go check her traps one day and she told me NOPE because its a secret spot..lol

Any good get togethers for fur sales this year? Would like to go to one and.see how prices are. Seems like fur buyers are wanting coyotes like crazy. Game warden today told me coyotes and bobcats were selling high this year.

Yes, WSTA has two fur sales one in February in Athol ID and one in March in Centralia WA. Look in events on watrappers.com for more information.

That's one cool kid! Glad she got enough back to cover the lost traps. Nothing beats getting up in the morning and checking the trap line. Way to go!
