My brother lives in Western NY and he said his average was 19$ on 35 coon. But that was cleaned and fleshed out. He said the extra work to put them up paid off.
He traps and said his fox this year are the best hides he has seen in years and the yotes are great too. Said he has about 75 of each.

$1 for a big coon in Arkansas. That's what our fur buyer told us. Not worth the trouble in my book. Keep the coons thick, and we'll have some fun at the hunts!

I read about one of the fur auctions in NY (I forget the name of it) over on trapperman.com and what I read was disappointing. I don't remember seeing any high prices posted for coon.

There was a large fur auction in MI last weekend and the average price on coon was $6.91 with a high of $16.50.

Central Maine Fur Auction last weekend coon averaged $7. The high price paid was not posted.

Were these $15 to $20 coon a high price paid on a select few very nice pelts or the average? There is a huge difference. Who cares if the buyer paid a high of $15, the average is what counts. I am willing to bet $15 to $20 wasn't the average paid. If it was let me know who the buyers were at that auction as I have some fur to haul to them. BTW if they are paying a $15 to $20 average on coon this year I doubt they will be around to buy next year.

Overall the fur market is pretty tough this year. Fox are off from last year, the muskrat market is coming down, mink are a disappointment, and the coon market is terrible. One of the few bright spots is select western heavy coyotes. They are sought by the trim trade and are doing well. We are talking coyotes coming out of Montana, Wyoming, the western Dakota's, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. The eastern coyotes aren't nearly as good and are selling cheaper.

Don't get me wrong guys I hope the market turns around. I for one like to make a little money back off my trapping and coon hunting. Not looking to get rich but it is nice to make a little money back to pay for dog food, gas, traps, etc.

Commodities market. It isn't 100% by a long shot, but if gas prices are low it usually seems like other commodities such as fur goes low.

Some people simply enjoy killing coon with a.....dog, spotlight, or trap. Lol. I just enjoy seeing good dog work and knock one out once in a while as payment for a job well done. The more coon, the easier to train pups. Jmo

If everyone would stop carrying them in and selling for low $ in a year or 2 price will go up. Supply and demand. ..

Many years we have killed a hundred coon between the first of Nov. and the end of the year...... this year we have knocked out 9 coon and only took them because of a young dog.

Will, I love your logic!! I personally have knocked out about 10 this year and cant think of a night that I ran into another hunter and I hope it stays that way!!!!!!! coon worth 1.50 every year would be perfectly fine with me!! Have not sold a single hide and don't plan to
