$$$ 5300 Fur ???

[GRIZ]

Just thought I would throw this ? out there and see who gets it right.

What kind of pelt brought $5300 at an auction back in January? It may take a bit of searching but you can find the answer from this site.

Superstar if you've already seen it don't spill the beans.

Unless it came from some politician, someone paid too much.

I'm about 99% sure it was a sasquatch aka bigfoot.

The answer Polar Bear is correct. I think they averaged around 22-23 hundred a hide, with a 5300 tops.

I knew someone would end up doing a google or something like that. I should have worded it different as I wanted to see who could find here from MNO. Try that for a bit more of a challenge.

Did ya find anything else from that google? Just curiously what did ya type in when googling?

I just googled "North American Fur Auctions" and found there site and looked at the january sale records.

I was surprised, I didn't think you could kill polar bear. I guess I haven't looked into it either though.

check into a hunt once... i looked at one that was a 15 - 30 day hunt said 8 days of that was just travel to the location and set up as in bulding a igloo of some sort to live in while you hunted the beast.at a average temp of - 40 below.. hunt was around 20 some grand.. and i think you had to have about a million permits and paper work up the AZZ... would be kinda fun to do but lotta work...

Legal documented Polar Bear can be sold fairly easy for $10.00 per SQ. Inch here in the USA, Paw Mounts sell readily for $300+ depending upon the size, Head Mount $1000+ (size again)

  It is my understanding that the Native Inuits in NWT are allowed a yearly quota of so many Polar Bears, they then sell the hunting slot and it is a very critical portion of there income.

I believe that is when most of them come from is the Inuits. There were only 16 up for auction and one never sold.
