I read a recent FFG that said muskrats might go to $10 each this year.
WOW!
Isn't this the biggest news in trapping since it was last hot in the
mid-70's?
....But no posts about it.
Hello?
It also seemed like several other critters were almost back to 70's
prices, which isn't saying much with today's dollar, but still they
might be the strongest they've been since those days.
I recall the reason was that China is coming into the market for real
now. Prosperity = fur. I vaguely recall that the 70's fur boom occured
as the people of the USSR started feeling some hope. Is fur a good
political indicator?

PS: I also just wrote up a couple essays at my website, URL above, in
defense of trapping and other outdoor action. I'd like to see what
people think about them.
