Where I’m from 1 in every 15 will go heavy the rest semi, have not had one grade eastern yet. This is in 6 years of sending to auction.
It's your story, tell it how you want me to believe it

Based on my experience in western Kansas, a much larger percentage are mangy, than grade Heavy. Most of mine (which are sent to auction) have been graded Semi-heavy.
I am thinking, based on memory, 5% or so may grade heavy. I think I do recall at least one graded Eastern.

West of 83 a fair percent will grade western semi heavy, the farther east and south you get the more commercial/ eastern type.

Don’t put words in my mouth I never said crappy, but there is a tremendous difference east to west, north to south. Can’t just say Kansas and expect a flat answer

Lol, I know. I just don’t like to disparage trappers fur, some trappers fur isn’t crappy, just quality disadvantaged.

Actually sitting here looking at a map of Kansas trying to decide how far south and east I can go be for I run into more quality disadvantaged coyotes.

It would be pretty tough for a nonresident to come out here and show an honest profit on coyotes after you deduct real vehicle cost and other expense. I don't think you can operate a pickup for much, if any, below 50 cents a mile if you figure all cost rather than just fuel. If you do make money your not going to sleep much and you will have a lot of permissions in several counties. IF you can average 45-50 dollars after tossing mange etc in the ditch, your in the best coyotes KS has to offer. 25-30 dollar coyotes are what most of the state has. Quite possible to have stiff competition as well. Not on the same property but anybody trapping coyotes within 10 miles of you is competition. They roam a fairly big area. That fellow trappers is the honest truth.
Breaking even is doable. MAYBE coming out a few hundred ahead on a 2 week adventure. We do have a lot of coyotes and finding people to let you kill them is doable also.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
