I know I have seen a post on here in the past about what's the typical pay rate is for help in the first shed but I can't seem to find it. Due to Limited time this year I would like to have more time to focus on catching fur and not be out in the first shed until midnight. LOL I'm trying to figure out what the general range is for paying someone to skin and flesh. I know there were two different prices from what I can remember. Thank you for the input I mostly deal with Coon muskrat and a few coyotes. Another option is if you have a local buyer,,sell in the round.Do the math and see how you would make out better.

Not sure how far you are but I'd be interested in your put up if we can come up on a price. I am a hobby trapper so don't do huge numbers myself. I enjoy the fur shed and am very picky with my finished work!

Eagleye, I hope your right about Groenwald paying same for green coon as put up ones. I haven't seen that in the past. Did he explain why the change?

Guy mentioned that the investments they made in capital equipment for fleshing has taken a lot of labor out, to the point where it's cost neutral. He also mentioned that they're using wire on all their coons so they pack tighter in a bundle for shipping. On coons, he said to spend the time trapping and not on put up.

Same with rats, he wants them on wire. He said if you are spending more than two minutes stretching a rat you are wasting time.

Sounds like a sales excuse to me. But they have been at it alot longer than me sooooo.
You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

Thank you for all the replies. I do have a skinning machine which helps a lot. I think the entire process takes me about 20 minutes per coon from start to stretched. I also give each one a good brushing prior to fleshing...idk maybe I'm slow but seems like a decent average for a run of the mill trapper. I've never used the machine on yotes always afraid I'm going to tear them...ill have to look into it more.
