you should have done sold them months ago the market has crashed as of now . try tanning them and sell to the city folk at the flea market or something . or pack them up good and air tight and hold them till next year .

Hate to tell you, but they're not all the same. They're graded differently in the south than in the north. It's got to do with how prime they are, how full the coat is, color, size, ect. A southern coon is worth less on the dollar because they have no need to grow as thick of a coat due to milder winters. You can get on the NAFA website and they have a section that tells you how they grade them and shows a map as to where the most valuable pelts come from. The most valuable is the northwestern region, which is michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Places like that. Especially with coons being worth less there, it almost makes what you have not worth the time for someone to do unless they're fleshed, dried and stretched already.

Justin,,,you are so wrong,,,there is a BIG differance in coon from northern and southern coon,evidently you have never seen our northern coon

let me get this correct, you found out theres a market on coon hides so you went and killed yourself a bunch without even figuring out what you planned on doing with them or who to sell them too? now you just want to get rid of them?

Send them to me I got pups to train.
