I'm not sure if that's all of them, but those are the ones I found results of. I troll a couple of pa specific sites and will post any other results I see. I know there are a bunch more sales over the next month or so.

that coon average is still godd when you consider that included everything right down to the junk. the beaver were good too.
i know people know that coon are up but i think that beaver is gonna be the big surprise this year and in a good way for those who have them.
rats at least are selling
thanks for the info scansy.

I'd guess supply and demand Lou. The supply of grays probably isn't keeping up with the demand right now.

greys are more durable, reds are a fashion article that isn't selling as well, are mainly used for trim now......It's all subject to change from year to year.
