For one or two seasons (been so long ago, can't remember now) we made some extra money **** hunting / trapping. We got about $25 per pelt.
Good money back at that time.
One night we weren't seeing very many ***** but we were seeing lots of possums.
My hunting partner had the bright idea that we could probably get about half as much for possum pelts. Really? Yeah, hadn't you ever seen a possum coat.
Unfortunately I knew a young lady that had one so.....
Sounds good, $10~$15 per. Lets do it.
We got a Bunch of them..... My knife stunk for weeks afterwards.
And what did we get for messing with all them slimy critters?
FIFTY CENTS per pelt!!!
All of our buddys got a laugh out of it and my knife finally got over it.
To this day, every time I see a possum it reminds me of 50 cent pelts.
