I will sell you all the carcass coon you can haul home for ten bucks a piece. Look at all the money you could make. These are corn fed and big so you could sell them for a premium. Also you could sell skulls and peckers for another couple bucks. PM me for my address. Heck Hammer I still may trap coon this year after all.😂

Whatever happened to running a coyote line and trapping coon for gas money?

You need to check with Coonman220 to get the real scoop!

And to semi quote you. Why don't you ever have anything positive to say? You know why, cause there ain't nothing. Reality is reality.

Very few longline on mo-peds

. You got me there buddy.

I used to trap that way. Back then i figured i generally needed 2 or 3 big coon a day to offset fuel costs...then when prices moved lower it was more like 4 or 5 coon a day.
Not sure what that ratio is today. Coyotes are lower too, so maybe now its no coon and a couple coyotes a day to offset gas and then anything north of two or so is the gravy?
We don't exactly have western heavy coyotes here...our dirty southeastern Nebraska reds are the new coon i guess.
Sigh...

Yeah, and the cats are the new possum! I'm gonna trap yotes.....Cause I like to, and I don't have many years left in me!

i only caught a few incidentals last year, and a couple the kids caught. this year i'm only going for beaver and coyote. maybe a few rats if my daughter wants to get out in the marsh.

Where im at you would be lucky to get 10$ out of 10 coons, maybe one for 10$ and nine rejects. Maybe we need to fashion coons into covid mask as the new fur fashion. Everyone knows coon fur is antiviral lol.

For those with a carcass coon market, what are you getting for them? My local fur buyer has offered to skin any coon i bring him. He keeps the carcass, then i take the fur home to flesh and stretch. I can then sell anywhere i please after that. I understand why it's not worth it for him to flesh and stretch in this market, not sure what a carcass brings.

Widespread desperation. Does this equate to “blood in the streets”?

Now theres a deal! Wish I had someone here to do that.Sounds like a good carcass market in your area?????Might want to look into that,

2021 Coon=free cash from nature.

Hire Boco to do the electric at the warehouse. Wait a month...... Should help reduce inventory.

I still plan on trapping rats, mink, some beaver , coon, very likely not go out so long or try as much, some. Not a good price. Unknown how bad well be. Store finish hides till who knows in freezer is possible

Fur Harvesters Auction was not well represented by buyer to fully gauge the market.

nope but it showed what FHA is gauged like.

What was FHA suppose to do? Terrible market, overflow of product with a virus epidemic in the mix. If it wasnt for them I would have no place to go with my fur.....at least without hassle.

Well at least our corner of the state has a coon the market traditionally likes, and for some reason I get a lot of huge ones even when I'm not really trying for them. Corn fed giants. I don't set any traps until after thanksgiving for any species.
Will mostly target coyote and some coon this year, a few beaver and cats too.
I love when prices are down and competition is lower. Got a few more farms to hit this year because guy that used to trap them hadn't been on them or asked for a few years now, and landowner said I'm the new trapper with permission to his ground. He was going to let the other guy know so there wouldn't be any confusion or hard feelings. SCORE! Some years I trap just to keep the land, this may be one of those years and hopefully I can look back someday and count blessings that I did.
