what say u?

A buck tree fifty
I'll give you a buck to throw it behind that tree fifty feet away.

I just wait until an old customer is on his way here and take them out of town and dispatch them, and give them to him whole.
Cage trap them to keep them out of my grapes and garden.
Can't dispatch at home, and sure hate to just toss them, so try to give them to someone that wants them.

Here, males prime and put up... $2-$6 if you can find a buyer. Most buyers are done taking chances on them. Auction can be a better bet for a sale. More crafters and buyers together, sometimes developes market with competition. Better make sure they are fully prime also

Coons are basically trash, since you can make much more money an hour working a crap job like fast food, than you can catching, skinning, fleshing and putting up a coon. It's sad.

A lot depends on what part of the country you are in, when it was caught. and who you sell to.

Wait until mid-October and send an email to Gronewold and ask the price range. Will probably say they're only buying 2X and bigger for $$$ whatever.

Of course that argument only holds if you can stand doing a "crap job" for the coin OR having the choice to enjoy the whole experience of trapping and seeing what your fur does against others.

I plan to hit some in part of the rural area that I hang out in because they need to get thinned besides getting sandwiched on the highways. There's also more value than just the fur; cleaned up, intact (even ones with lead defects) sell on-line and cleaned up pecker bones are super easy to do. Besides, a BBQ'd back quarter of younger ones are pretty tasty as long a person does them right.

There's more to trapping than just the money, for me at least. I'd rather pay to trap raccoons than to work fast food.

$25 for coons and possums. I’m not a professional, so only charge for what I catch plus a setup fee.

$20 out the cooler by the liquor store

I still like catching coons, but I donate them or pitch them if there's no takers.

Sure might want to make a cap soon,,,,winter is coming.
Unless you can move the beard on top.....

$11 + tax.

Marty I still trap them on the side along with my coyote line. They keep the catch rate up and I can always sell them for something. Easy to skin and when I’m trapping December land line the coon are generally about in the best shape and most run on the bigger size too.
Last year while pursuing cats I had to trap coon nearby to keep them out of cat sets. Even green skinned a stack of coon at $6 avg was a nice supplement to the fur check.
Most of my landowners want some coon control too. I don’t carcass anything and never could find a market around here for them.

I had a meat market but dried up. Old man from Topeka came here and bought all of them. 3 bucks a head then resold them. Was convenient for me and we both made a little money. He died. I have asked around at work etc. Around here people often act like you offended them for bringing it up. Young people here just dont eat them or not willing to buy them.

Same as a half coon !!!

Less than nothing !!!

You get anywhere near a coon this season
and it is actually going to cost you money !!!
