When do trapping seasons for marten, fisher, bobcat, coon etc die down? If in say 3 months I need frozen whole critters - would they still be readily available? Or do I need to plan ahead; ie. buy my years worth of critters now...?

I'm sure it varies from state to state. Georgia end Feb 15th. I suspect some northern states go longer but not much.
I have no idea how long I will keep them for,Interested? They have kit fur still.
I normally skin everything and stick in freezer with paws still in or fully skin,turn,ect and salt dry.
My last day to catch a coon would be about feb 23rd but they don't look real great then.
I suggest you buy all your critters now if buying direct from trappers.
Here in Missouri, Furbearer ends on jan 15 except for coyote which can be harvested until spring turkey season.If you have a taxidermist or fur buyer license, you should be able to find fur. Lee
