Hate to bring it up but what are your thoughts on the coyote market this season. Thanks

To early yet next week we will have better idea

That would greatly depend on what part of the country you're taking coyotes from.
I've always said, " If Ohio's coyotes were as good as a 'Montana pale', I'd be a lot happier trapping them. "
Thing is though, they are not. There's a world of difference in the quality of the coyotes I catch and a Montana or southern Alberta pale. It's night and day !
Out here, a 'good coyote', means it's better than the rest of the pile...
Still worth trapping, at least, far better than raccoon.
Most of the money I make from coyotes is paid by a homeowner / landowner that wants them gone.
It takes a lot of 'Buckeye' coyote pelts to match the price paid for just one nuisance coyote.

I talked to the quest man the other day and he still has 400 coyotes to sell and so far he hasn't found a market.

Anybody know if there's a live market for wisconsin or if its legal. Or where I would even look for that kinda info

Is he going to be longlining again this year
I remember reading somewhere that it had to be profitable or he couldn't do it.

Is calling your local game warden an option?

Live market is not legal in WI.

Apparently he was not a real trapper who traps for fun. I guess there is two of us.

If I know Robert, he will be trapping. He will be getting paid one way or another. He doesn't just blindly trap like I do, since I'm retired! But I have learned a few things from him! lol

not going to be a good year for coyote! 50% off on better coyotes than last years average.

There is every reason for them to be cheaper but I wouldn’t bet on 50 percent drop, especially westerns but we will find out soon enough

I'll be trapping em just like always, I owe the ranchers that courtesy.

I need to get more skilled so ill be in pursuit of them

Could you elaborate on this?
But could be anybodies guess at this point.

In my professional opinion, coyote fur will be as valuable as any other wild fur.

also expect traceablity with that 50% drop ..trapper will need signed affidavit to obtain those" better" prices

I thought that traceability crap was ancient history. Haven’t anything about it until you brought it up just now.

yup ....its crap

Traceability has been coming thing,,,
You may be right I am no buyer like yourself .
like Tom told me do not be in a hurry to sell
