You might have to go a long way for fisher. MT and MN have seasons but they do not allow non-residents. WI has a season but fisher are a drawing and not good chances. Probably NY is the closest Vermont, NH and Maine also have seasons.
Not sure what a 🦊 is.

Buddy got a nice super blanket last week but said they are only going for $5 ! :yike: ????
I can't believe that is correct unless he is selling them in the round. A finished super ought to be worth at least 12 bucks. Even that is enough to make a trapper cry but better then $5.
I remember reading about the Mountain Man Rendezvous' back almost 200 years ago. When silk hats were introduced the price of beaver collapsed and one of the old trappers complained he would not sell his plew's for $5.
Trappers need a cost of living increase.

Jon,
Those Porkies are worth money if you didn't know. :yike:
Save the guard hair 7" and longer. last years sale I think was around $23.00 per once.
some of the small 5"-7" can be sold to fly tiers, craft people, etc....
Skull, quails, claws are also worth money at the state fur sales

Since Thanksgiving -
Beaver - 9
Otter - 7
All the otters have come from two traps 10 yards apart. All were caught since the 22 of December and all where male. 22.5, 23.5, 24.75, 28.5, 29.5, 30.25, & 30.5 lbs. The 30.5 lber is at Moro Taxidermy for a full body mount. 5 of the beaver have come from those same 2 traps and one other 15 yards below them. The interesting part is 5 of the otter have bypassed that lower trap to get to the upper ones. The 30.5 and the 22.5 where both old from the looks of the teeth, or what they had left of them, which I also thought was interesting. I also have an additional 6 traps 1/4 mile away in the swamp that feeds the creek and haven't caught anything there.
The additional good part is that these otter are most likely part of the the Pilchuck mob that attacked a kid and his grandmother a few years back just a few miles down stream.
For the beaver: 49.5, 45, 44, 37,34.5, 28.5, 26.5, 24.75, and 23.5
