FIND UNIQUE WAYS TO SELL YOUR FUR

What are we going to do with all of the fur that we catch this year? To say it’s a tough market is an understatement. Trappers are still going to get out and trap to some degree, but mostly the die-hards and the ones that absolutely love the sport. But, I am still going to trap and find alternative ways to sell what I catch.

The fur market was already headed south before COVID-19 hit and the disease just accelerated the decline. The same goes with North American Fur Auctions. Now that NAFA is out of the game it leaves a major market without one if its top players. A lot of trappers and many more buyers are left holding fur with no one to sell it to. The market is saturated with fur that isn’t selling and the world is changing like we never imagined. One thing is for certain — we are still going to set traps.

There are not many people out there that rely on fur trapping as their sole income.
