Fur prices trending up?

"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

Some guys 'in the know' tell me we may have seen the bottom of the fur market. But the market has a long way to go. Plus we need global economy recovery. Some items will spike, while some will be slow to recover.
In that article-
The $107 Coyotes were heavy western. What they didn't print was the overall average.
Overall average for US & Canadian Coyotes were $45-$47 at that sale.

Goose, $45-$47 is about the average at Canadian auctions last year. (were most Pa. fur buyers sell)
One would be hard pressed to get that average from a local Pa. fur buyer or local Pa. Trappers auction, the past several seasons. I can't blame local fur buyers for being cautious.
But we can all hope for a turn around. I think it will be slow to rebound. But a slight rise each season is ok by me.
Goose, I think your Muskrat are suppose to rebound faster, according to some reports.
I would like to see speedy recovery of Muskrat, Coon, Wild Mink & Beaver. Most folks trap these critters.

Goose, the moo-la is a drawing card.
Even experienced folks are in and out of this game with the fluctuation of the fur market.
Higher prices = more guys after fur, ah never mind, I don't have to tell you.
