Haven't sold any yet, gonna ship them up to NAFA after season. I'm gonna bet, after watching the markets that you average 8-10 with the best bringing 15-16. But that's just a guess.

Not much. I only shoot them out when a pup needs one. I wouldn't carry one too far, that is for sure.

I was just curious. Last night, at a pkc hunt, I was listening to what some guys were telling they got paid. I just couldn't believe they were that high. I haven't sold a coon hide in 6 years. Probally won't for awhile either. But if what am hearing is true, the ditches will be full of traps if they already aren't.

People will target coon because they are quick and easy. And prices are higher than they have been in years.

got 10-25 for coons on 12/14/12. in central illinois. you are right about alot of traps being out. sucks for the guys who have dogs. have to worry about your dog getting caught in trap just cause the prices are up.
