Trapping News, Auction Results, and Where to Ship Fur

In Episode 69 of the Trapping Today Podcast, I go over news in the trapping world.  The Stan Project is fully funded – thank you to those who donated – THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD!!!  New Mexico trappers won a recent victory, as the public lands trapping ban was killed in the legislature.  Stay vigilant, this will likely resurface.  Ontario proved its dedication to the Canadian trapping industry by pledging over $1 million to trapper education.  That’s Canadian dollars (haha, couldn’t help myself!) but it’s a big deal, and great news!  Maine trappers have more rule changes to deal with, this time for bear trapping.  I go over the details.

I talk fur prices from the Fur Harvesters March Auction in Finland.  Results were mixed, with the good news going to lower end bobcat and coyote trappers.  The rest of the items were pretty well more of the same.

I shipped most of my marten/fisher/weasel furs out to be tanned at Moyle Mink & Tannery (www.moytown.com).  I discuss the option to tan and the Youtube video I put together on this.

I had a question about the best place to ship fur to sell.  We go into detail on different options.  For an overview of marketing options, check out my book “Fur Profit“.

Thanks and enjoy the episode!
