Wow those NWT marten averages are discouraging. I got $38 in 1975 when it bought something. Always next year

Brian, the price is low because we refused to sell the bigger sizes, heavier type marten. We priced them according to the last sale and did not drop our evaluation. Sad part is the world buyers just brought up about 8 million ranch mink in this last round of international auctions but there was no money to buy a few thousand wild sable.

What do they actually consider a lynx cat. I catch both, more lynx than bobcat, every second year I catch a bobcat and I usually catch my quota of lynx every year. But what is considered a lynx cat? Look at the pictures I have posted here.

That's what I am asking. On the fur sales lists they have Lynx and Lynx cat, I thought I had seen somewhere that a "lynx cat" was a bobcat. Yes? No?

Pretty sure that they define a bobcat as a bobcat, a lynx as a lynx(with 25mm or over tuffs on their ears), but if you have a lynx and the tuffs on their ears don't reach 25mm they define them as a lynx cat. Thats how I understood it but I could be wrong.

The international fur trade call bobcat lynxcat
Trappers call them bobcat. Same deal with marten the international trade calls them sable.
