Winter hunting season for fur animals in Tuva is over. Majority of hunters admit it was a successful one due to the rich harvest of cedar nuts and berries. All in all 120 000 squirrel skins and 20 000 those of sables were provided to the state by the hunters. Prices for them are now close to world standards: 2 dollars a squirrel fur, and 50-100 dollars a sable.
