Is there a ready market for coon meat for human consumption?

Lots of guys have found and developed a market for it over the years. All of them I know of had to find a way to ship to the southern U.S, as that is where the actual market is.

With sanitary gutting, bagging, freezing, and refrigerated shipping to an established buyer you might make some money. I'm thinking ten dollars a coon.

I don't think it's a very big market, so you might not get much help from anyone already established in it. But if you look hard enough you may be able to develop something. I hope you can make it work!

I had a market when the fur was worth selling. Got $7 across the board. Bagged with a back foot sticking out that served both for identification and a handle when frozen. I developed the market on the job site. Middle aged and older black men were masons, before the boarders opened wide, and they were the target consumer.

I was selling over 800 coon a year. I was getting $10.00 per coon. It cost me $500.00 to ship them + expenses.
I was making money then they wanted more coon and wanted them sooner. I gave my contacts to another trapper.

It may not be legal in some states if the coon is a game animal.
