I'm on it! And I'll even sell him some.

What does he mean by "outs"...?

What were the prices from last year, using say a 3-4 XL top grade?

I wonder why he never mentions eastern ND and SD, we often have some decent "northern heavies". I wonder if he (they) still use "Colt Fur" (or whatever they are or were called) as their Dakota subsidiary)??

What does he mean by "outs"...?

I think he is referring to smalls, damaged, off color, blue/black leather as outs. Stuff that has little or no market.

Of course this comes out just about the time coon are denned up here.

Same ad last year, some less.

Not exactly good news.

nope

"Outs" are Early season catches, smaller than maybe 2XL, or at least XLG, any damage, most dog caught coons. Color doesn't seem to matter anymore, degree of prime and size is what matters. JMO

So like always...

Blue or white leather is the big thing.You can tell when you put the first little slit in the leg if its till blue or not.

6 buck average is what he means lol

What would you guys say is the minimum amount you would take for a put up coon?

What about for a coon in the round?

They are not worth catching to sell in my opinion.

6 bucks to flesh and stretch
another 6 to skin out
That is the going rate here

In this video, they do talk prices.

I wish he came by me !! I’d catch and put up for 6 bucks. All he wants

Before the coon crash, in that short period where they had a little value, I averaged about 6 bucks over 3 years for our crummy coon, put up or green, not worth my time...and it's worse now.
For 20 bucks I'd catch them again, but probably won't happen in what time I have left.

For midwest coon he said $6 for green and $10 for put up...unless I heard it wrong.

I think that means $3 here. I'll pass

Back around 1980 I was getting $25 for my XXL western Oregon coons. That would be about $95 in todays money. So if coon prices get up over $80 somebody send me a PM OK?
