As we roll into the new year, here's what the fur market is looking like for the month of January.

Most trappers know the value of the fur they caught only after trapping season is over, and selling season really starts in January when auction houses go into action with their fur-collecting routes, and private buyers start purchasing skins.

The petitions serve as a blueprint for successfully delisting Western Great Lakes wolves and downlisting West Coast wolves in accordance with prior court decisions. The agency, however, in an unsurprising move to ignore a durable solution and good science, chose to wrongfully merge and deny the petitions as a whole to circumvent their own “may be warranted” finding on the petition to delist gray wolves in the Western Great Lakes.“These denials couldn’t provide a clearer representation of what every day Americans have come to loathe from a federal government that plays politics instead of addressing their needs,” said Dr. Todd Adkins, Senior Vice President at the Sportsmen’s Alliance. “Our petition to delist Great Lakes wolves is bulletproof, and the agency recognizes that. Yet, the administration couldn’t stomach making the correct decision, so they used smoke and mirrors to carry on the illusion that gray wolves still need ESA protections.”

When the large media outlets are speaking out against it, you know it's a big deal! Make sure to vote to protect what's right — wherever you live. And tell your friends and family in Colorado why Prop. 127 is wrong!

The joins a growing list of organizations urging Coloradans to vote no on Prop 127!

“Colorado maintains and constantly refines the world’s gold standard in wildlife management. It is working. Don’t be an ill-informed reformer. For the love of cats, let’s not destroy a system that works — a system based on wisdom, science, tradition and law.”
