I was thinking of waging a little private war on my coons this weekend. I read a story about how they are the #1 predator for Turk eggs. A spot light and a .22 and walk my 30 acres of woods ought to do shouldn't it ? Are they worth much ? I'll turn them in regardless I just wondered if I should have my investment broker ready?  |

My cousin sold a $15 pounder and got $2. That was at the beginning of seson, and it was unskinned. Season ends soon.

Yeah I just looked Jan 31.
I get them on my trail cams all the time. Thought it might be something to do now that deer season is out.

Mostly been getting $6-$8 whole. Some more, some less. Depends on the condition of the animal.

China and Russia have been the main fur buyers for years, when their economy improves so does our fur prices. Over there its not so much a fashion statement, it's a way to stay warm.
