    Shit they are pretty hard to count on the back of that ute. How many you end up with @BeeMan looks like a good haul

    Great effort you old fellas

    Interesting the fur pricing you are getting from Dawson's. Here is a copy of a text i got from Basically Bush a few weeks back...

    buying fur tomorrow Friday 12noon until 1pm. $85kg hand plucked and $90kg machine plucked.

    They told me they prefer the machine plucked as its easier to blend?

    What are you getting for the bodies out of interest?

    Hope your batteries are charged all good, this week looks crap for trapping. Stay away from steel structures, catch you next week @Mooseman.
