Low Profits For Iowa Trappers Hurt Hunting Trade
Iowa trappers face sharply reduced fur income with estimates placing take at about half to under a third of prewar levels. Licensing revenue trails last year by around 70 percent as large fur buyers report cuts of roughly 25 percent in pelts received. Analysts attribute the drop to a closed muskrat season and weak long haired fur markets, though top mink pelts remain buoyant with some skins fetching 400 dollars.
