There are several traditional options for selling fur, most depend on what is available near you and how you want to handle putting up your fur. Its helpful to know what the different options are before you catch too much fur. The biggest watch out is that the fur market is very variable, so its best not to be counting on making money from your fur. There are good years and not so good years, if you enjoy trapping then the good years are just icing on the cake. To learn more about trapping visit www.coyotetrappingschool.com

I'm a country fur buyer; good general info...especially in today's market, it really has to be a passion. Lots of variables out there, from the otters going to zero thanks to the Chinese, coyotes doing the same thanks to Canada Goose caving to anti-fur folks, to COVID lockdowns and the war in Ukraine tanking cat prices. The bartering is crucial as it saves everyone money. The internet/KZfaq is great at teaching someone how to handle furs. We had some beavers come in that were put up well and my Father in Law-a true "fur whisperer" asked the kid who he'd learned from. "This is my first ones. I just watched KZfaq." My father in law was astounded. "Sonny it took me 30 years to get this good!" I try to learn something every day, and there are folks out there that are so well-versed that it blows my mind. THen there are the egos, big hat, no cattle, like NAFA which is why they went under. Now get out there and trap!

How much money can u make in a year and is it worth it??

Its not really worth messing with unless it is something you enjoy. A good bit of up front cost in equipment and a lot of time investment. If I break even I'm doing good, granted we don't have super great fur quality in the south

I heard if you make your own garments they don't always sell fast but you get the mist from you hide . I know they still sell hats an other garments for a lot of money.

That's definitely an option, there are plenty of other options besides the traditional means of selling to a fur buyer, they have their own pros and cons. If you could get in or get established selling fur garments I'm sure there would be more upside but you've also got substantially more costs and time invested, between tanning and manufacturing. Its worth trying if you've got ideas and the time and money to try it. I've tried tanning hides in the past, found it much easier and better quality to send them off to get tanned. You can get good money selling tanned fur but again you've got a significant investment and you have to find a market, but can be part of the fun of it as well, especially when the fur market is as dismal as its been lately
