I think the fox and the rats are about equal in value .

Did you notice that all the guys that said coyotes, are up in the good section of yotes! No one in their right mind would want to put up 70 of the rubber band variety that is common here and farther east! I won't tell you what I would like to put up, because there are too many variables. Prime but early caught coon are a joy to handle, compared to the late caught, bit up coon. Heck, I like habdling good badgers, most people hate them! Ok, I'm done!

Rats would be first except I use wire, so that disqualifies them.
Coyotes are the last thing I would choose and I have a skinning machine. Just don't like doing them.
Fox would be second as my least favorite.
By elimination, coon would be first, with beaver second.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Elkguy has got it right. Which every is bringing the $. Although Iv'e never put up those $100+ coyotes. The $75 coons and $14 rats weren't to much of a hassle back in the days.
