I don't get trappers post anymore. Anyone know what the coon outlook is for this fall as of today.

Umm….

Plenty coon. No money!

4 bucks? 8 bucks? 1 dollah? Anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

Haven't paid enough to finish in several years now. Sure wish that would change but I ain't holding my breath.

Probably not much competition.

good year to train a dog up

Legal here now to shoot one out to your dog all year long. Hard to turn loose though most places. To many people want to charge you with trespassing if your dog gets on their deer lease.

gave us 6 months now in Missouri we can kill them when hunting - definitely not prime Aug or Sept into October and rubbed terrible in February. Closed for a month from Oct15-Nov15 for the almighty deer idol worship season I guess

Last year we sold 100 coon caught from Nov 7 to Nov 18. 6-7 were not put up or sold. Those 100 sold for an $8 average put up with 3 at $2 and the rest at $5, $10 and $15. I put up almost all the largest of those coons. There were 62 4xl and bigger. Color was the big difference between 10 and 15. Lot of what I thought were nice coons in the $5 pile. Probably will be about the same again this year. Not much for a market when they have to be from a very limited area and a limited time span. Prime pelt does not mean prime or even salable coons. Once they start to rub and den up you can have a white pelt with almost worthless fur. in this market.

Need China and Russia back in the game.

If what I'm seeing is true neither country economy is doing well.

I don't know but Next gen trapper set a goal of 5,000 coon this season. He got over 3,000 last season. The kid is machine!

Doesn't look good if you checked the last couple FHA sales but i never heard the forcast for $80.00 skunk either

That $80 skunk average was a bolt of lightning out of the blue, don't look for lightning to strike in the same place twice. BUT, we could see a $40 average again.
