I do remember the threads a year or 2 ago along the same subject, sometimes people are just busting and then too often it's personal, that's too bad. The funny thing about all this is most of us don't sell enough fur to really matter who we sell to. I sold mine to the country buyer, he paid me on the spot, I could have sold elsewhere and maybe made a few more bucks or made a few bucks less. But I'm happy, John's happy the lure makers and trap dealers I bought stuff from with my fur money are happy, you're happy. Too bad some others just don't know how to be happy.

Hind sight is always 20/20. If you sold your rats two months ago for $7.00 average and now they would be worth much less you did good. But lets just say that what if the market had developed at NAFA and these same rats are now worth $10.00?

Amen, uncledoug. The matter of less than .50 cents a nose, probably even less than that in reality, for most of us "hobby" trappers doesn't equate to the cost of lunch and a cup of coffee for a week out on the line. Im just happy I got the seasons memories and I only replaced the front differential in the truck.

Gordy, Von & I will take that crystal ball if it accurately predicts the primetime bullhead bites this spring

Too bad some others just don't know how to be happy. now imagine if most of us here were having this same conversation in Fenner, or anywhere trappers gather in person. I would say the exact-same things there in person as I do here typed into a message board. What about everyone else? Would the incessant trolls be there to chime in like they do here? No, they would not. They don't attend trapper gatherings because they are anti-social and know they'd be rejected and shunned. So instead these individual rejects sit home, by themselves and troll online message boards as the only places they can be "heard". If you really want to see "happy" trappers, then attend any Flatiron fur sale or rondy gathering where trappers converse in person, for real. Where everyone is right there face to face. Then you'll see trappers having one helluva good time, for hours on end, with no anonymous drama

I KNOW this will be deleted, and rightly so, but -- meh. For those of you who get to see it while it lasts, I think you'll appreciate it.

ah, well, maybe filtered. It was funny, though. You've probably seen it floating around the web: "Poop (not really, but the other word) Talker Be Like," followed by two drawings, one with huge cajones with the subtitle "Online" and the other, same guy drawing, with gnat-sized cajones and subtitled "In-Person." eh. it was funnier if you saw it.

Bill, I respectfully disagree. This is a thread concerning the results of a recent NAFA sale. My thoughts posted were directly related to that, objectively. I singled out or personalized no one. Can we agree on those two points? My post was thread-topic related, and impersonal. That's how adult, grown men converse about topics with two or more viewpoints.

Hey....must be trapping season is pretty much over.....the weather sucks so bad nobody has started any sprung projects yet......so we need something to so we're all complaining about fur prices!! Its the last part of the trapping season!!!! I trapped....had a ton of fun and excitement a few firsts for me this year...made new friends.....made some cash...had something to. In my opinion, Great season!!!! Never got paid to deer hunt...half a loaf is better than no loaf at all..
