Here in PA only about 1 out of 10 for me has the right color. The bigger males have that yellowish red tinge to them. The 29" females have nice silver flanks LOL.

I guess you could look at it that way. Kind of like gas comiing down 3 cents....still 2.00 too high but people will drive 5 miles out of their way to get it.. Like beav said you will probably come out of there with a 3.00 average but have at it if you like.

Do they measure from tip of nose to base or end of tail?

Nose tip to tail base

Base. The tail has no value.

At least there is a market for our coon. And seeing central coon get a slight uptick…I’m thrilled.
I’m using these down years to teach my sons how to put them up. We aren’t out much If they nick a few. Should have a couple experts in place then by time markets come back up.
I’m having a ball catching coon and coyotes this season with my boys and teaching them things. Lots of animals around. The deer and pheasants get hammered but trapping is almost no competition and has gotten us all kinds of land access even some spots where others threw in the towel and those sections are now ours to trap.
Down markets always have an upside for me.

"I sold to Groeny yesterday as well. I was the ONLY person at that particular stop. All fur was put up.

Rats were from 3.00 down to .50, 1.43 average. Guy said some rats may reach a 4.00 level in the winter.

Coon were 1.00 to 15.00, 4.56 average. I cherry picked the coon that I put up, the smallest that I put up this year were 3x."

How many yellow dinks you need?
I understand they bring TOP DOLLAR!!

Coon could be worth $100 each now and it wouldn't matter. Ours are sleeping for the winter.

Promise increases, average remains the same.

Thats a great plan! Good on ya!

So his Wisconsin coon should have fit the Northern section, and 3X and above should have fit the $10-15 price range. He must have taken a beating on the early, damaged and poor color discounting.

Not only that-Beav is a poster boy for groeny-i seen the pic.
So he got the premium.

They might be too old at that point, lol.

Know what you mean though, good time to learn AND try new things.

Hunted with one of my grown sons for a few days this week, brought back a lot of good memories.

This is a raccoon thread? Somebody get me out of here!
