In my Illinois Outdoor News an article said the Illinois Fur Harvest Survey stated their expectin' higher prices but never stated a price,except 'yotes & that was last years price of average of $17.60 per hide.

Yeah Hillbilly back then our hides averaged $25.00 the most I got for large ones was $40.00 & that was in the grease,I hope they don't get too high,last time they did the coon population suffered greatly,along with huntin' privileges,with the hides that high it brought out every Tom,Dick & Harry & they never cared how they got 'em.

Deacon won another hunt last night. He came in with 375+ points. Now we have 2 hunts this weekend. Friday and Saturday. We need one more win and he will be a Grand Nite Champion. Hope he wins Friday night.
