haven't talked to my buyer yet...postponing the news I guess...but in a poll so to speak of fur buyers in the area..... Cumberlands, Groeny, FH and NAFA...the prices are not good.
if ever a year to harvest nothing early, this is it.
averages-
green coon- WITH dinks and junk tossed out- $4-5
put up mink...and this is mind boggling....females $2-3, males $4-5
put up rats- still decent in the $3-4 range
beaver- perhaps some upward movement
coyotes- down some from last year but still good value- so take what you got last year for averages and downgrade it some
fox- similar to last year
I did hear that mink MIGHT, a tenuous might, have a little upward movement
maybe the predicted short harvest with tick prices upward...one can hope-
at least gas is down more than $1.50 from last season, and supposed to be under $2 later I nthe fall- course, low oil prices is one reason fur prices low...but hey, any silver lining.
any news from other areas?
