Furs Sought by Trappers in Lawrence Kansas

Beavers remain protected by state law while possums skunks civet cats muskrats raccoons and minks flood the market though prices run low. Dealers note fewer exports and waning demand abroad, with overall sales down about ten percent from several years ago. The harsh winter delays trapping as animals stay burrowed until milder weather returns.
