Had some early caught rats, since they have moved back into my hunting area, after a 25 year abstence. Only 1/3 adults... so lots of little guys...how little... they just fit on fox boards, just born in late August. Then some of my marsh burnt out in December 3000 Acres,and then froze out..2 feet down, no snow. So sure was glad that I chased them in the fall. If there was to be waiting till a spring trap, they all increase one size growing over the winter. But when they are frozen they don't grow much..

Mine are also western rats so they do not get the better prices of easterns. My rats are smaller in size as well. These are USD's , so conversions to CAD's is probably another 107 %.
Be interested to see what the others go for in the March sale

early caught rats always Grade1-11, winter rats went Grade 1
75 % of these rats were caught in submarine traps..the SDG were stop loss.
