coon hide prices ???

I have heard prices will be up on most all fur.. Wondering what you all are hearing???? If prices go up like I heard they might, It will bring out the spotlighters and dog thieves.. I'm hoping the folks I heard this from are all wrong...

Yeah, I competition hunt !! All Fall and Winter long.. My Blues compete with the local coon.. My Blues win a ton !!! We use and recommend MOONSHINER LIGHTS, Peggs , Ok.

If the prices do go up, i dont think it will be significant enough to make people do things they wouldnt ordinarily do. People who would steal a hound or spotlight for coon would probably do it regardless of fur prices.

I heard in MN the prices are going to be around $30.00... which last year I think we averaged about... $10.00 average with most being real nice furs. This was printed in Fish and Game also I think.

NAFA report

Raccoon - We have become very dependant on the Eastern part of Russia and when they have a warm winter, it hurts our sales immedi-ately. Outside of Russia, in markets like Europe and North America, Raccoon has not performed as well as expected. We are working with fashion designers worldwide to re-introduce this article as a fashion item. To project next yearʼs prices at this time is impossible. However, if there is a normal winter in Russia, Raccoon prices will increase and it will happen in NAFAʼs auction room first because we have the largest collection of Raccoons in the world and the largest number of buyers. China has also become more active in this article, doubling the quantity they bought in 2005 as compared to 2004. Larger sized, heavier Northern sections continue to be the most desirable, while Southern and flatter sections will sell at proportionately less money.Beaver - New markets have become more active in this important article. North America, especially Canadian manufacturers, used to dominate this article, but today Greece and China are buying 60% of the skins. The dressing capacity and dressing quality outside of North American is improving every day. Russia has shown a tremendous interest in the better quality, finished garments as well as long haired jackets. Clean skins with good quality in both long hair and shearing types will do well. Damaged skins continue to be problematic.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
