21 cu ft freezer here is about $700, and I’m not getting more than $6-8 a coon.

It sounds like you would really have to have your ducks in a row to make any money at it. You need a guy in the south in every town with a locker plant that's willing to deal.

I was In the coon meat market for about 10 years. I normally shipped 1,200 to 1,500 carcasses per year. I paid $2.00 per carcass I also skinned coon for the carcasses. And lots of guys just gave them to me so they could get rid of the carcasses.
It cost me 500 to ship + 500 In expenses. I sold them for a $5.00 nose count. It's real tough to find and process that many coon. And It's more then just gutting and putting them In bag. You need to produce a top of the line carcass or your going to be out of business real fast. You can't be buying coon that have been laying around for days before they are skinned. so you can't be buying coon from any fur buyer. Like ADC said It's really expensive running freezers. NAFA stored all my carcasses for nothing. I turned over all my contacts to my friend Robert. Small timer's might make a buck or 2 but It's go big or go home.

We have a large Hmong population around here and some of them work the farm. And I thought I could get a coon market started with them. No way were they going to do coon or beaver. But they would settle for venison so that didn't turn out well.
My buyer would sell those 12 lb coon for $20.00 a head. And It went down to about $10.00 then the smaller coon at $5.00. There was no way that I was going to sit around In the IGA parking lot selling coon When I had traps to run.
I still don't understand why anyone would pay that kind of money to eat a coon. Yuck. When I first started In this racket I would haul a trailer with 2 freezers on It + my buddy did the same. We were going south anyway to trap so It was the right thing to do. But then It got bigger my buyer wanted more coon and he wanted them sooner so then I started shipping.
But like some one said It's about the older black generation the younger generation are fast food junkies.

We don't have a muslim population here to speak of, Thank God, but it could change.
Maybe we need to feed our prison populations coon and carp.
