I thought I would swing in and see what has been happening here. How has everyones summer been?
The rendezvous in Barrhead was entertaining with all the completions etc. I added a few videos of the beaver and coyote skinning in the other thread.
I am starting to prep some traps and catch up on the freezers. Lots more wolves to do and a few beavers. I will have to see what else in there once I get closer to the bottoms.
What is you target animals this season? What do you have to prep for it?
Despite low.prices coyotes are still my priority and hopefully a wolf ...a couple new areas picked up in hopes of the wolf.. 350 coyote snares already to go as well as 125 heavy ones for wolves..a nice bobcat again would be great ...good luck everyone in the coming season.
I plan on trapping a few coyotes on my home place, on the line wolves, lynx, marten and fisher will be the priorities. Looking forward to getting out there and hanging up some necklaces.
Coyote population is going to be huge with enough out there for the serious, beginner or hobby hunter and trapper. I havn't trapped /snared for 2 seasons and will let them live as opposed to killing for pleasure.
Any indication as to whether prices may rise again in the near future?
No idea on my part , I know" Covid " .was supposedly a reason that prices dropped because there was a big stack of unprocessed fur due to no one working ...let's hope maybe that stack gets used up and things return a bit toward normalcy . I have my doubts with all the granola munchers and tree huggers these days tho ...in the meantime I'll just keep enjoying my snare hobby , if it covers a few expense then great .. if not then I'll just have to count my enjoyment as payment.

I would love to see coyote prices come around a bit but I am not holding my breath, that being said with less people trapping them maybe demand will rise with less on the market. I did see that there is some really nice jackets on the GFW Facebook page that were coyote fringed. Similar style to the Canada goose jackets. Do us coyote trappers a favour and buy a couple would ya?
A little quiet out there.....
