I see FFG and GFW both predicting a better coon market coming up, have not run cages the last few years I have 25 to put together maybe I better get to it! Also recommending an Oct start on yotes even because of the demand, might look at a late Oct start date or put out some cages out when the bird season opens (3rd week in Oct) and start on the yotes Nov 1st.

I have a good market for spotted skunks anytime of the year not sure how long we will have a season on them, just trapping them only is not cost efficient if a guy could pick up some coon to pay for the gas then that's a winner.

Ours run big some years the XL on up ratio is unreal at times the color depends on area we get them in but seldom are they in short supply!

I am targeting them some regardless. They need thinning out.
I wish we could see a rise.

My coon section has been all over the place at NAFA. Some years, mostly central, some eastern semi and this year, all eastern north central. Usually a mixture of the three. All caught in the same area in NC.

Sold a 1X coon in Fur Harvestors May sale for .75, I owe them money on that one, a small but prime December coon. Fortunately the 2XL prime December mink that brought 3 dollars covered my selling costs, graded out as ranch light brown.

Simply said Groeny can move better coon at terrible prices. In better sections five dollar averages green with junk and 2x and smaller out. That is your improved prices. He may be the only country buyer taking any coon from what I hear
