Hey guys, I've been out of the scene a few years. Are raccoon prices recovering at all yet?

Nope. Just like most things, they're going the opposite direction.

'Worthless racoons' is the way I have heard many describe them lately.

Haven’t sold a coon for a couple years but what I hear on the grapevine is they’re worth the effort...to pitch em in the ditch.

So is it really that bad, or is it the typical preseason doom and gloom with prices slowly increasing or doing better than expected at auction ? I got $8 to $12 on my 3xl and 4xl coons last year at the local auction, after the covid 19 panic in China which dropped the prices at the end. All season long I heard how worthless coons would be that season, that I'd be lucky to get $5 for put up 4xl.

The market has been saturated for years. For larger sizes and higher quality you may do ok. Anything damaged, small, blue, or off color will sell for next to nothing if it sells at all.

I had about 700 at FHA---- after their latest auction I have 653 "unsold".
so I wish it would get back up to "gloom and doom".....

Gone are the days of $20 for throwing a carcass coon up on the grading table for sure.


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

True. But the market will be in for a lOOOONg recovery, if it ever does, if folks don’t quit stacking coon on top of unsold coon. I don’t have any skin in the game, haven’t seen a coon in my neck of the woods for almost 20 years, and that one was a fluke.

Don't know why anyone would be targeting coon, unless for self use. Looks like the market is totally saturated as is. Agree the population has to be controlled.

They will keep stacking coon on top of coon. They are real trappers.

Fur price cycles. High in early 80’s. Crash about 1986, next peak around 2014, crash in’15 & ‘16. That makes the next peak in 2044, I’ll be 89. Lol. Hope it’s earlier but I’m not getting to exited for that. I got to trap in 2 fur price peaks, I’m happy with that.
