What's the going rate for a beaver pelt and where can I sell them? You shooting them with a shotgun while duck hunting or trapping them?it takes 5 holes to make a bad hide. So if shot with a shotgun they probably aren't worth anything. Another problem you run into with beavers is that they fight a lot. If it's on the river in an area with a lot of beavers they are liable to be scarred up bad and that hurts the price. One thing to keep in mind is that southern fur is worth a lot less than northern fur.
We will burn that bridge when we get there

A lot less is correct! Buyer told me $7 for green beaver skins! That sucks! What's the going rate for a beaver pelt and where can I sell them? You shooting them with a shotgun while duck hunting or trapping them?it takes 5 holes to make a bad hide. So if shot with a shotgun they probably aren't worth anything. Another problem you run into with beavers is that they fight a lot. If it's on the river in an area with a lot of beavers they are liable to be scarred up bad and that hurts the price.

Trapping to make money is pretty much a thing of the past.

Money from trapping is at a good level right now due to international market demand, from what I understand. It may not be like "the old days" but it's not bad.

Shipping furs and/or animal parts internationally? I don't think you could just stick 'em in a FedEx box and be good with it.

Shipping furs to NAFA is done everyday! As long as the furs are dry and properly tagged there is no penalty or fine for it!
My problem is I simply don't have the time or facilities to properly flesh, stretch and dry my own furs! Guess I'll have to deal with the middle man for now!
Clem our southern fur is the tail end of every market report. Most of the numbers you read about are for northern fur bearers and our critters average less than half what they bring!

TO many women giving them away to be worth anything! No seriously xl northern beaver going for 26 dollars tanned and about 16 dollars green. Just do internet search for fur buyers. Their was a treed on here about some on selling to some place in mississippi. Years ago we use to take them to gurly alabama but that buyer died years ago. Died?When?
