Around here you can sell skinned raccoon and muskrat for more than the fur has been worth for over ten years. You do need to sell direct since the middle man is greedy.

Put up November Reds at $7, put up rats at $1.40 average, put up November and December coons at $4.60, but then inflation adjusted it is very comparable. That huge drop back then was what gained me about 70% of the area I trap yet today, so when one gets lemons, make some lemonade. Bryce
