There are numerous fur auctions across New York and to state which one is best would be inappropriate. I do know that some sales are quite small, some sales, because of location, attract only certain buyers, and other sales do poorly because of the auctioneer. My strong recommendation is to go a sale where Bob Hughes is the auctioneer.Bob is a long time trapper that knows fur, and a lot of the buyers. He does sales at Ballston Spa, Herkimer, Genessee Valley, and Hinsdale. John Rockwood does a sale at the Flatiron near Stanley. It is impossible to know prices or what buyers will show up ahead of time. The good thing is that you can always "no sale" your fur if you are not satisfied.

This is a good year to be selling coyotes. Besides what has already been said, FHA is also an option that I've had good results with. Numerous pickup locations. Although at this point your fur would be in the May auction.

Normally cep56 from the Jefferson County Fur Harvesters posts the Date & Time for the Mannsville Fur Auction well in advance of the event.
Maybe shoot him a PM as he is a forum member.
Rockwood or Lee Crowther would probably know also.
