Hunting with the Hedge 2020-21
Digital Caveman:
Raccoons dropping dead all over sounds pretty close to a rabies pandemic. I should learn the difference.

Shawn, ya better bring something bigger than cb caps to the that fight, coon are damn tuff, and ya ma nature usually jumps in with distemper when coon populations get to big. Sadly you are right about trapping prices, I actually got more money for beaver castor than beaver pelts put up. See ya in a couple days, ALERT yankees headed your way :-T Bob

No it was distemper. I still never wanted to shoot them with a deer arrow. I counted 25 coons only morning on a early Sept bottom sit! Twenty five and that was in just in an area I could see maybe 50yd radius. Yeah, think varmints can get out of control with out checks on population! This is after the distemper kill off in 2012.
Most Citidiots will say "You cant kill the varmints, we need the varmints, they eat the ticks and keep nature in balance". Sure they do "At a Price". We have a good rabbit spring and you'll see even more varmints this fall. I have been seeing plenty cottontails this spring and almost zero turkeys. When you start to see see turkeys right up in yards People think "there are lots of turkeys". Yep, turkeys are smart they go where the varmints wont go "right up to your back door". Most folks dont know chit about whats outside their door or grass patch.

If fur prices are down now they must get really high! I was playing with the idea of a fur quiver, but I can't justify $55 when I have a few good ones already.
Good luck with the Classic!

tradcraftsman, Tanned fur and raw fur are 2 differnt things, raw fur is at rock bottom :(, I put up some beaver and sent to tannery, beaver were 30 bucks a pc to tan and the shipping was 25 on top per beaver, I had 55 dollars a pc not counting my time trapping skinning and fleshing and stretching. :o Finish goods are not cheap. Later Bob :-T
