There seems to be a start of a stuffed raccoon craze in Europe. We need this guy.

I just read up on this a little. The store that sold the taxi coon are being inundated with orders for stuff. About 30% international orders.

A stuffed raccoon craze would help the market and build interest in other fur items too. When someone, with as many devoted followers as he, buys fur publicly and makes a big thing out of it, it's likely to be good for the market.

I suspect the demand for feet on finished raccoons will go up noticeably. I hope so.

There a lot of money to be made in that type of stuff . Now some people (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) where making $150 a pop on skulls they would clean dry and paint or grow crystals on. Gotta sell to a few groups most trappers wouldn't like to deal with tho lol

The oddities groups on Facebook is a large, mostly untapped market. The prices people pay for skulls, other bones and miscellaneous weird pieces are much higher than fur market prices.

Keith

Wouldn't take much to saturate that market if everybody started doing it.

That's definitely true.

Keith

So hush! Dang it. LOL

Those witches covents sure do pay good money for stuff most would toss

Unfortunately I know because my sister is some big to-do in hers

I joined several of those Facebook groups. They pay decent money for stuff most people here dump, especially gross stuff.

I have sold beaver skulls, beaver castor, beaver oil sacs, beaver poop, beaver fleas, beaver bladder urine, beaver fetuses, beaver baculum, beaver whole carcasses...am I missing anything?.....oh yeah, even the pelts!

the boy has been making bank this last week at a horse farm that has a coon issue.

they don't want traps because they have stupid horse people around by day. but pay for him to come shoot them at night suppressed so no one hears a thing and none of the horses are spooked in the killing of coons.

4 more coons and the suppressor is earning in the black.

You have probably sold beaver tails too.

Claws? Teeth?
