Well i sold 11 large coon for 11 dollars a piece 6 med coon for 7 and 9 small coon for 1 dollar.

hey guys i was wantin to find out where and how to get ahold of the guy thats paying 40-50 a hide cuz i heard 11 was good for hides this year so if you can give me some info thanks

he was meeting people at meijers and payin 30 $ average. so i went..LOL.. they got to be stretched,dried and scrapped.plus be prime jumbos...the only way the price will go up is to cause a demand. if we wont sell them for 11 bucks,then when they need them bad enough they will pay more. if they can buy them for a couple bucks then why cut into any profit they have by payin more... its all about supply and demand.we play right into their hands selling them like we do now.

Im in PA they only take about 4-5 dollars for descent size coon.

NAFA has a enough coons over from last year to fill all the needs this year,Last year only 35% of our coons sold,that has never happened since the 70's,if you can get 8 to 10 bucks for a big Northern coon take it and buy dog food.

so what you guys are saying is only kill enough coon a year for your dog to keep interest and dont sell hides for like five years? and thats gonna bring the price up.

i'm sayin i aint sellin them for pennies..you figure what you spend to hunt,thats what your sellin them coon for -pennies if that..
if they want them,they can pay more or buy and feed their own dog and haul them out their self..buzzards got to eat too.

i'll walk a mile to my dog treed and kill the coon.but its because i like coondogs. aint got a thing to do with what i could sell the fur for.
there are some fat buzzards where i hunt.

o got ya..

If you'll want prices to go up all everyone has to do is stop saleing the fur for a while. Get it off the market and the demand will go up after a while. The problem is getting everyone to do that. If everyone would the supply for the factorys would go down and demand would go up and that would drive the prices up to where they need to be.

does anyone know someone that buys them in tenn. i live in union county and i hunt when the seasons open and get pretty good numbers
but i don't shoot anything small. so anyone know anybody in tenn to sell skins too

Yup there sure are some fat buzzards LOL. I live on a farm and shoot almost every coon I see except a sow in the spring and still get a few of those too, its called crop control. I shoot them for the dogs. If price ever gets up I will bring them back

So what do you guys think that the price needs to be? I'm a coonhunter and don't like the thought of prices getting up around $50 again and my dogs coming up stolen. I would like to see them around a $10 average. That way I can afford dog food and some gas money. I agree with you guys that are saying to shoot them out to the dogs and leave them lay. I got $3 average here in Missouri this year. Bunch of BS. Took a lot more time than that to skin them, haul them out, and everything. My time is worth more than $3 to me.

band together and not sell a single coon make the rich fur buyers walk A** deep through the swamps if they want a coon then theyll know what there worth looks like im having a coon hide fire cause i aint givin em away

the most i ever sold a coon hide for was 10 bucks and that was the best a biggest one i had a fur buyer will find everything he can wrong to pay u less lol
