Hi, been looking at your drumming video, do you still drum your fisher and marten pelts. Am interested in the idea of drumming and wondered if really is worth it. Thank you
man, those prices suck. I trapped for a living back in the 1970's and did wayyyyyyy better then. I guess the anti fur gang has ruined the market. its a hell of a lot of work to run two trap lines, skin flesh stretch and dry furs and to only get those prices, man I feel for ya. tough market I guess.
I was getting 12 for a male mink, 18 for a female, 42 for red fox, 35for grey fox, large coon, 18, and 9 bucks for #1muskrat. that was 1977/8 as I remember. I think we were even getting 2 for possum. that was the best muskrat price I ever got. other years, they were around 3 to 5 bucks. Mind you, I skinned fleshed and stretched my furs and they were in prime shape when I took them to Johnny bill freshwater, the fur buyer. Ive seen guys just freezing whole and not skinning and selling that way. that would have gotten a trapper laughed at back when I trapped.@@paulskopic5844
Yeah I made a pretty good living trapping before I went into the service in 1982, and when I got out in 1986 the fur markets went to shit because of PETA. I doubt if it will ever be like it was sadly.
@@trappingtoday Canada Goose is now essentially bankrupt. It doesn't help the fur market but it makes me feel a bit better that they are paying for their decision to stop using wild fur. LOL

In the late 60's small muskrat brought $1 or more.

yeah, PETA...People Eating Tasty Animals@@brianlanders8028
Most of the damage to the fur market is caused by the switch to farm raised fur rather than wild for
Sad to hear yote prices
👍
$25 for western coyote and almost zero demand. FHA went through page after page of them with almost zero offers.
Yeah virtually no market for coyotes right now. Shows how dependent the market can be on fashion trends.

@@GoldCountryTrapping I agree. Their stock price has dropped like a rock the last 5 years!
@@trappingtodaywhat happens to unsold furs? Can anyone bid at the auctions?
I guess what we tell people is stay home and play video games....its more lucrative.
Miss your trapping videos.
Big plans for next season, Tommy
@@trappingtoday Excellent!!
Yeah I ended up doing better on my raccoon than I was expecting

You'll spend that much on gas.
Ajnd look at the cost of vehicles,tires and parts.
No money to be made there u k
Trappers trap for the love of trapping.!! Whatever money they can recover is just a bonus.
Says you
@muddyriverdogz says all the trappers i know. There is no money in trapping anymore. What other reason is there?
@@LenSwartz-x1v Most of the trappers i know have there traps in box's in the attick for years now.
