Fishdaddy... glad you are getting to lay some steel.

I haven't trapped or sold furs for about 20 years, but those prices sound like the market is still really depressed.  My furs were put up and brushed to a T so not sure how much difference in pricing that makes.

If the experience of trapping and the time spent outdoors wasn't "priceless" it wouldn't be worth the effort.

I know I'm not in it for the money. Heck... I havent even sold pelts in years. I do it for the love of the outdoors and a few good wall hangers!

 Heck you don't even have to go out of state to feel some pressure, lol

LOL...That running of a full time trap line is like work.I have another job to pay the bills..I like to set goals and see if I can do it.If I pay for the gas and supplies I'm happy.If I make a dollar or too-better yet.....
