Post by: Purebreedcolt on May 18, 2012, 07:36:02 pm Sc you are probably eastern they always advertise a little higher for yall and then highest for northern. For these prices you would probably have to send them in to auction so cut it by about half for what a buyer is going to buy it for maybe a hair more. If you want to know more look up www.nafa.ca/ or www.furharvesters.com

Post by: halfbreed on May 19, 2012, 12:21:43 am i'm fixin to start coon huntin again . hell the comp. hunts , pkc and chck are payin too much money not to get back into it . but i figure the only way to make money on hides anymore would be to just tan em myself and make stuff out of them to sell to the city folk at the trade days and flea markets . i know back in the good ol days i would quit workin for the man thru dec and january and do nothin but hunt and trap . made twice to three times my salary doin what i loved . but i don't think these ol southern coon gonna do worth a damn anymore in the market . have to sure kill a bunch to make it a worthwhile endevor .

We waiting for the otters to get back up where they were back then. They are bumping $50 right now, and if it follows last time, should be back around $100 by next year or so. Hopefully.

He had a route back then, and I think it made a swing through TX also.
