Not sure, for me beaver prices were a little better this year. I got between $35 and $50 for finish skins. These were from 35 to 50 lbs animals so oddly enough it came out to be about $1 a pound. Castor however has dropped from a few years ago. This was from the state auction sale.

He never was or ever will be a "BIG" guy only a little sniveling shell of a man that co-ops/steels other peoples accomplishments never having any of his own worth noting.
Don't forget a GREAT storyteller ( READ pathological liar). And he's such a great puppet, he put Jeff Dunham out of business.

Imperial stick butter in the four stick pack. Was a buck before the plandemic. Went to a buck and a quarter in 21. Continued to rise to $1.59 as of a few weeks ago. Now has dropped back to a buck. Everything else has went up.
Probably a trick Tim
Well it is Walmart. They raise a price on an item astronomically then a week or two later drop it back a little and call it a rollback. Might be a conspiracy. But on the flints, if they are going up too I wonder how hard it is to knap our own. Never tried yet.

Guess it depends on the person and the severity of the need ! Easy for some and impossible for others but the majority can learn to make workable flints for themselves with a little instruction, patience and practice..

make a bopper copper plumbing cap over a large lead sinker mounted in a handle. leather to protect your lap/pants leg from cutting jeans and skin, cut proof gloves and SAFETY GLASSES and band aids, a safe area to knap away from kids and pets

Well, I was wandering the creek beds, and don’t you know, the resident copperhead told me since the price of gun flints went up, he needed a few more mice or frogs to eat. He read it in the backwoods man magazine that blew out of someone’s truck…..price gouging everywhere!

Side note, the wifes pretty bent with Imperial for changing the recipe on their sheep grease. It no longer works for her blue ribbon chocolate chip cookes.
Yep, they also changed the water content in their butter. Messed up a bunch of my wife's recipes. She had to go back to the drawing board on a bunch of stuff because of that.
Always worried about flints.
