The Tribune Democrat - Predictions that rising fur prices would cause more interest in trapping seemed to be borne out at last week’s fur auction sponsored by District 5 of the Pennsylvania Trappers Association at the Bedford Fairgrounds.

“At last count, we had 120 different furtakers who brought fur in, which is really great because I think, last year, we had 75 or 80,” said Todd Harteis of Ebensburg, district director. “Some of the prices are up a little bit higher than we thought they would be, and some are lower. That’s just the name of the game.”
