    During the mountain man time, that is how beaver was sold by the pound not size . The castors are worth more then the skins. Before my buyer went from size to weight he sized my beaver and then he weight them and found that I will get more from weight then size so he paid me by the pound and now he just buy by the pound. As for coyotes , he told me to leave the feet on them since can get more for them that way then with out because they will not go to garment. If one to sell to a buyer check first what way will be more. Skunks is with the feet he wants also. He have his own outlet for what he sells . He just to find away to make more on the skins and for me too. beside others. The way I look at it the more he makes for how he wants them , I will make more for how he wants them. He is fair with me on my furs . I do not go by what is written in the magazines . It is who I sell to that I can trust.

    I'm probably to far north but you can get a hold of the MN trappers association and I am sure they can put you together with some willing trappers.

    It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.

    never pick a fight with an old man - if he is too old to fight he will just kill you -
    in this current crisis our government is not the solution , it is the problem ! -
