The best ones are in Alaska
funny thing about that is bobcat just averaged over twice what lynx averaged. I was thinking for my dad who still lived in WA. Who knows one of these days I may end up back down there. Family is a strong draw.
thanks

Wrong, Best cats in WA? NE and the Blues would be my guess.
Best cats in the country? They are scattered about MT, ID, WY, CO, NM
Last year I think the top lot at a NAFA, 5 cats had a MT, WY amd three from NM.
I read where someone had a lot of four from ID at the OTC sale that brought $1200 a cat. Seems like the east side average was $441.

The east side of this state has some outstanding looking cats. Most worth very good money compared to a lot of the cats from other areas. I have seen a few pictures of some amazing cats that came out of montana as well.I notice the colors are day and night between the two sides. I would love to have one of each on my wall.

If you plan on selling it frozen. Skinned but otherwise not processed is known as in the grease. I would not hold them too much longer. The last sales of the year will be in May but the last receiving dates for those sales will be during the first week of April. Your buyer needs time to put them up for market. If you don't get them in soon enough and he has to hold them over until next year the price will drop because of the uncertainty of the future fur prices.
Don't hold them over yourself if frozen. Bobcats are bad for freezer burn and that is not good for trying to sell them.

Once they have that CITES tag on them they can be shipped anywhere.

Set up a nice hunting/trapping camp for the season. My dad's going to be a Subaru trapper once the line is set to save on fuel :chuckle:

Describing what you want to do, I'd either go Blues for high dollar cats or north central. like Sherman and that country... really from Omak across to Curlew....
SOunds awesome though!

We've caught a lot of cats up Lil natch, nile, bumping, etc... and they will not compete with something further east for color... in general. There are exceptions of course.
