Hides aren't worth anything here. Fox and coon $1.00, fisher $10 and some guy bought in 4 beavers while we were there, 2 were pretty small, I think he gave him $20. We're getting our bobcat and fisher tanned.
It's 18° here, I'm ready for spring.

Geez Rex, she sure is lucky at bingo.

It was windy and cold here today, too.

We got another bobcat today so we're pulling the rest of our traps tomorrow. It was a beautiful male..lots of dark spots and long stripes on his legs. He wasn't that big, 28#s. Chuck really wanted to get him mounted. $650 - $900!! We're getting a rug made Instead. The fur buyer said he'd give us $40 for him
😞 We're only trapping about 10 miles from here so gas prices aren't killing us, but if we would have sold both cats and the fisher, we'd still be in the hole just for gas...not to mention lure, peat moss, buckwheat hulls, etc... We talked to a guy last week, that told us he spends $65 a day on gas!
