I figured that...natural fur is pretty much out of fashion. With all of the synthetic stuff available, I don't think it will come back.

Texag otter brought most $$ last time I sold a pelt is that still true?

Yeah otters bring a lot as well

Price list

When you walk up to one and they show you their teeth, you’ll change your mind.

Skinned coon is $7 each here in south ar, no matter if they are large or small. The hide isn't worth keeping. I could sell 100 right now if I had them as long as you leave one foot left on the skinned carcass. Blacks love them for Super Bowl parties around here and I usually have around 25-35 I sell them every year.

I used to shoot them and sell them across the tracks for $5 in the late 90’s.

Trapping isn't for me either. Friend and I thought we were gonna make it rich bybtrappong coins behind his house. Bought three leghold traps and set them out Went the next day and the first trap has nothing. The second trap there was a coon foot there where it had gnawed off its foot to get out. Third trap had a young coon covered in mud. There was a three foot circle of mud where it went round and round tying to get loose. Shot that coon to put it out its misery and threw those traps away.
