Does it affect the value of pelts ? ive seen people say yes and say no but i saw a grading book from NAFA and in it it said that rub deducts as much as 25% from the value of the fur because once its tanned their is the possibility that the hair along that snare mark will come out. have you guys ever heard that?
i saw the book where it was pictured. It was a NAFAs grading standards publication.

Fur damage is fur damage. And will be graded as such. Does a snare always do fur damage NO. Some fur buyers down grade for snare marke in the leather.IF your buyer does. Pack up your fur and take it to someone whos not gona try to rip you off. Marks in the leather CAN come from body grip traps too.
I just put some otters in the truck tonight ,to sell tomorrow. One looked like it has a snare mark in the leather. I know that I cought all my otter this year in Belisle 330's.

good point Newt, a mark is ok, but where the hair is broken or missing is an entirely different thing.

Well if the pelt is fleshed too deep it will. Most of this snare = down graded fur is spokened by .People who dont know what they are talk'n about. I have seen animals damage them selfs in every kind of trap that is made. NO exceptions

but do you know if there will be damage until its tanned and are the graders going with the worst scenario just in case there is a loss when they grade snared pelts?

a good buyer can tell if the hair is missing or broken, then it will come out when tanned.

i know a buyer can but the graders would be the ones to send em into lower grades cause of the damage, right?

Scansy, you are probably right about that. There are a lot of clueless people in this state. And we do have some of the biggest businessmen and women in Pennsylvania..Go figure..
But you are starting to sound like me. ;D
King of the BS thread.
