Of course the market will come back.It always has over the last 400 years many many times.
When is the question.
In my opinion it wont be too long now..

In the short term, I don't think there will be any improvement. In my area coons and opossums are the 2 furbearers that are the easiest to catch huge numbers of followed by coyotes, skunk, mink and fox. If I don't trap coons on my farm, they quickly become a nuisance. I don't like pitching coons, but until they are worth at least $25.00, they aren't worth putting up for me.

I am a little less optimistic in what it will take to change the market.
at no other point in history did people cloth themselves primarily in crude oil based fabrics so extensively
while calling natural warm sustainable fur and wool unethical and spewing so much hate around it.

I fear that things are so upside down it will take a collapse to make fur relevant again to the major consumer markets.

What we need is for a few popular internet influencers to wear coon and other fur products on their podcasts and talk them up. Coon and other fur could have immense demand again in days, if promoted by the right people.

You gotta think outside the box

Lol, the wildfurmarket is gone

It's going to be years to see good prices for fur. The market is flooded with leftovers coon..

Past couple years I sell all my coon for $5 a piece in the round.buyer will take all I can get.They tan and make hats out of the hide,,and have a buyer for the meat.Meat market is where its at if you can find buyers.

A lot of those will be discarded in favor of fresh goods.

Yeah, people say that but where are all these large numbers of leftover coon hides hanging out, in the back of Groeny's big warehouse or up in some coolers at FHA...? Or processed and hanging out in China, Cambodia, or even Russia?? When was the last year where a million coon were offered somewhere for sale, I suspect it hasn't happened at FHA at least for a good while.
