My brother used to skin all our coyotes and ship them to a major fur auction house in Canada I think, FHA I think @woodsdog2 probably knows I’m not a fur guy, anyways when his sale slip came back one year on it one of our coyotes got graded as a timberwolf or brushwolf I can’t remember.

Was it FHA or NAFA? Probably Timberwolf. Sadly, NAFA went belly up. They had been around since 1670!!!! Used to be known as the Hudson's Bay Company.
 
We have these rascals running around now. I caught three the first year the state had a limited season of them. We had 6 days to trap the last week in October. I had 18 sets out in 19 mile loop from my house. Now that I've really gotten back into bowhunting I haven't set traps for them in a few years. I'm thinking they might open up the season more this coming fall. They're everywhere now at least along the southern part of the entire state. They are not really wary like coyotes but because they run roughshod and haphazardly over the entire area constantly hunting and looking for food, its hard to connect right off unless you've been baiting ahead of time. I had the ones I caught the first two years of the limited season tanned for my trapping classes but the guys who sell them, even though they are still somewhat blue pelts at that time of year.... they do pretty good. If we catch a female we pull our traps in that area as they only rear young every other year.00000588.JPG

Fur Harvesters Association I believe, the other one was Nafta I think but he never shipped through them, the guys name who picked everything up was Toby.

Fisher are my favorite animal to trap, I don’t trap anymore but when I do again it will be them, we are blessed with Fisher up north.

What is it?
 
I had one looking at me from 6 feet one day. He got his fill and wandered off

Yes Fur Harvesters is the only one in business now. NAFA or North American Fur Auctions was formerly the Hudson's Bay Company. NAFTA was the abysmal agreement that was put in place that killed so many US jobs but I almost called it that too.
