Coon and 'Rats are down, But I got $30.00 for 1 of my reds and $15.00 for the other one (juvenile female) this year. That's about what they were last year when I sold my fur. Although if I would have sold my fur 2 weeks earlier last year, I'd have gotten closer to $50.00 per red fox.
I sold coon earlier last year before the market fell and I was getting close to $20.00 a piece for them and 'rats were selling for $12.00.
Thank Goodness, I am not trying to feed my family from my fur check. I usually run about 20 to 30 traps each season, so for me it's all good!
I am gaining trapping land and next year, I have plans for more fur on the stretchers, if the critters cooperate that is.
