(300 win mags do that to them) I think prices are what $20 foe ones prepped and stretched? To make any real money they have to go to one of the fur auctions to be sold... There was an old guy from davenport on the E side that knew all about it... He doesn't do it much anymore cause of bad prices...

State Trappers Assc. puts on a fur auction in the spring. If you put up good fur shipping to a major auction house is an option. You will get the best prices there but you might have to wait for your check. I've had checks dribble in for a year when my lots were split.

Here's a tutorial on putting up fur for auction.

Hopefully I'll be shipping to auction next year as I now have a pretty good stock of tanned pelts.
