I forgot to mention that the first lot of the day had a coyote that went for $100. It was without a doubt, the best looking KY coyote I have ever seen. That guy was grinning from ear to ear too!

I sold at E-town yesterday too. Eleven coon averaged $9.63, I was very happy with that. I also had ten coyotes that averaged $15.40, I had a high lot number and sold later in the sale. It seemed to me that coyote prices got softer as the day went on, I think that if I had been earlier in the sale the yotes would have done considerably better.

Sounds to me like those KY buyers might have drank a bit to much Moon shine before the sale. We can only hope that those kind of prices will be paid to the fur buyers in the coming Months. I have my doubts.
Corey you did exceptionally well. Good for you my friend.

High price's BUT a reflection of your fur handling! They wouldn't be paying those price's for matted up mud coated junk drug in! Is why average's at ALOT of these state auction's are so low, too much junk being drug in and sold for whatever they can get for it.

I’m with don here, watched a bunch of it on Facebook and prices seemed crazy for that section of fur. Saw 2x coon go for over $9 each, select heavy coon didn’t even do that good at had a last year. Saw some beaver sell that looked like they would need to do $12 a pound to break even, $50 plus average Kentucky coyotes? Hope they are right but not holding my breath.

Those prices are in line with the OSTA February sale.

I have sold to Don Wolf on several occasions, he can comment on my fur handling. There was plenty of junk there, just as you describe above. I can't believe some of the stuff people bring to that sale...

I'll admit, I never thought I would see the day when Id average over $50 on coyotes. I did have some exceptional ones, but still, they are KY coyotes.... The 2 cats at $75 were a surprise as well, the top ones up to that point were $55 or so. Some of the otters were bringing$18-$25 dollars, but they were not put up well at all. Honestly, I would have been happy with getting $30 apiece, let alone $50. I wasn't the only one walking out of there all smiles!!!!

We're going back into winter then, lows in the 20's. Frozen mud instead of just regular ol sticky mud, lol.
