I am not sure they ever went down. Maybe Groney dropped his price and others followed his lead, but did the market drop? What a buyer is paying isn't always the market.

No one mentioned way the price went back to were it was. China took the ban off of incoming wild life products. We can fur into China again.

LLL is in SW IA which is about 350 miles from the triangle. His coon aren't near as heavy as a triangle coon!

LLL, you including all those first week coon you sold on the carcass in that $13 average?

Well If you have been following the coon market for the last few months and reading the results of several state auctions and those that have been posting their country prices you can see that the average on coon Is about $8.00 and a bit less for green skinned goods. And that includes price info from those who have sold to groney. So If a country fur buyer can buy all the coon he wants for a $8.00 average why would he all of a sudden start paying $13.00 and up? That makes no sense at all.

Lets say you have 500 coon on the boards and I don't care If you caught them In the golden triangle or you caught them In heaven they aren't all going to grade clear leather and A-B colors and they all won't be 4XL and Bigger. Heck they won't even all be 3XL. To catch that many coon your going to have to start out at the end of Oct and those early caught coon aren't going to be fully prime and If your In the water your going to be catching lots of sows and young of the year coon and those will fall short of being fully prime and fully grown. Sure there may be some $13.00 and even some $18.00 coon In that 500 but they all won't bring that kind of money.

It will be interesting to see how the FHA coon sales do. That's going to tell us what the coon market Is doing.

Well I just got off the phone with Gary G. and he said they decided to go back to the prices they were at before everyone freaked out over the Corona virus. I am sure that hair will ignite on some who sold out during the panic that followed. He said he was at 14.00 for 3-4x clean heavy #1 skins. Sometimes it pays to have a thousand to flesh while all the speculation and chaos abounds. Let the hate begin. Hope all my friends listened and still have their fur to sell at the revised prices.

Beav, I find this hard to believe myself, but maybe Groeny can't get all coon he wants at those previous low prices?

Calls me as well LLL...Only thing I hate is dishonesty!

But If I remember right someone said he bought up 100,000 coon for $6.00 from some auction house.
