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.😂

There is no market. Guess I can see trapping a few . Focusing on them or trying to trap big numbers is just plain foolish IMO. Reading between the lines it seems to me a three dollar average for 3x and up rest out seems realistic. If your gas was free I doubt you could still make a profit trapping coon sad to say. 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.

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...
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

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. 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,

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. Jim
