Great picture!

Loved the prices in the late '70s! Averaged almost $400 per coyote properly washed, fluffed and stretched!


$400 average. Damn!

I’m too young to have seen those prices, but I think I’ll keep the traps I have left in the sealed drums just Incase fur shines again wink

I started when the prices were headed in the wrong direction. Here in NE Ohio the prices were $4/$5 nice rat, jumbo coon $20/$25 (and the color had to be good) and big male mink $20 $25.
The couple old timers that taught and helped me would talk about $8 rats, $50 coon, $50 mink, $60 red fox, $75 beaver blanket.

I remember those prices. A fisher was equal to a week's wages.


BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

60 years ago when I was 5 and was checking out the beaver my older brother Bob had caught.

My SIL added the caption smile
