I can't imagine what I'd do with all of them if I kept all of my furs??? It'd have to be one he11 of a large building...

As far as the eastern vs western goes, I'd say there's a lot more to the markets than what meets the eye, and regardless of what they bring at auction, the margin against paid to the harvester are very different things. I'd like to say KS doesn't qualify as either east or west (pretty dead center by my eye), but for some reason "the east" thought pretty highly of itself way back when and made the "east vs. west" dividing line the Mississippi River, so less than 1/3 of the country claims "east", and the rest of us are "west". Go figure...

So, with that in mind, remember that when you think of a "western coyote" that doesn't mean it came from the desert in NV or AZ, and an "Eastern dog" doesn't necessarily come from upstate NY or PA. I travel all over the "midwest" for work, rifle in hand, and it's not hard to tell that dogs I take out of the northern midwest (IA, MN, NE, even our KS dogs) will fetch a very different price than the dogs we take out of the "south" and "southwest" (not referring to "deep south", which is part of the "east" for some reason). And again, the price to the harvester vs. price at auction are very different animals.
