$40.00 tops on coyotes then It went to $30.00 then down to $10.00
Rats Tops of $5.00 then to $3.50 bottom end was $2.50
Grinners 3 @.50 2 @ $1.00
Had 3 coon got $6.00 each all put up.

Never heard what green skinned coon went for. 97% of the guys were there selling deer hides. 2 hides for a pair of gloves.

Not bad for rats

Were your coyotes finished or green? Thanks.

$1.50 less for xl from 2xl is a big drop but the top is up a bit. Rat market has improved but it is still a square inch market with big deducts for lesser size.
Thanks for posting. I think I may try to tan a coyote or two. One I have is a YOY male and poor colored so it is not much of a loss to practice on that one.

Bryce

All my fur was put up.
We have some poor coyotes around here so I was happy with the coyote price.

Hey Beav, what size were your coons ?

The difference between put up and in the grease for coon doesn't make sense to take the time to put up.

No it really doesn't but personally I enjoy putting up fur as much as trapping it. Some people may need to put it up just to free up freezer space. At the prices we'll have and have had nothing with coon really pays but neither does most of my hobbies. Have fun out there

Same experience:
Sold in Burlington last night, you know when expectations are low, when the discussion is about how nice the gloves will be for turning in deer hides.
Top End Prices:
Beaver: $15.00 $8.00/avg
Raccoon: $6.00 $4.00/avg
Muskrat: $5.00 $3.50/avg
(2) Deer hides for one pair of gloves
I wasn't surprised on any prices other than beaver- based on all the talk I thought prices would be lower, I had several small beaver. I sold all my coon green, all mid-November and got pounded as promised. Sold my yotes to a guy in line for his Bed & Breakfast but told him I had to get them tanned first. Also getting my cat and otter tanned

This was the 2nd year in a row I didn't put up coon- Guy said with their new automated fleshing- spend your time trapping, he basically pays the same.

I had pretty similar prices. Just to add, mink 1 @3, 1@4. Both put up males.

Well I never sell green fur It's just part of trapping and I enjoy It.
I also had a road killed mink that brought $5.00 It was put up.
My 3 coon were 4x and I would have liked to get more then $6.00 each but It Is what It Is. Takes about 5 min to scrape a coon and put It up so time Isn't a issue. And It got me $6.00 verses $2.00 or $3.00.

Sold 33 rats at Burlington, $4.09 average. $5 top and $2 bottom.

Keeo in mind Beav gets preferential treatment LOL

I'll probably see you there sometime down the road- I was the cool guy with the coaster wagon lol.

LOL

I never dealt with this route man before. His name was hunter.

Anyone seen automated fleshing Eagleye was referring to or have a link. I would love to see it in operation. I googled it but came up empty, thanks.

Groney had a automated fleshing system 15 years ago. Don't know If he has up dated It at this time.
The operator would split the coon up the belly then stretch It out and clamp It down on this hard surface. The knives were adjusted as to height and went across the hide slicing off the fat and gristle. I watched It when they first got It set up It did a pretty rough job at that time. I'm sure It was updated after a few trial runs.
Then the fur handler would zip tie the hide to a wire stretcher.

Those prices are pretty much the same as the last 2 seasons we sold to Groeny. So to me thats a positive.

have the prices for rats rose a bit since the beginning of the season?
