I sold fur today in Bluffs, IL. (about 30 miles WEST of Jacksonville) to Groenewoeld.
Here is what they paid today (I only had a little fur, a change at my work has ended my trapping season)
Coon $18.00 H- $ 3.00 Low ($10 Average on SMALL Qty) (These prices PUT-UP) I am getting better at it.
Beaver $8.00 (Small Beaver but dissapointed just the same)
Coyote $15.00 (Put UP)
Friend I was with sold 42 coons... (green) 'in the grease' and put-up averaged about $ 2.50 to $ 3.00 more per coon.
Confirmed against last years numbers an average value decrease of atleast % 30 from my rough figurin.
Hope that this information is helpful.
Regardless of price...it is more money than I had for them this morning.
Jay

Sam there are a few buyers still around that have their own markets. Like this one .....the overall fur market shouldn't affect them on some itemes, not as bad anyway. I aint no buyer, but I can see where they avhe to fill their orders or lose them next year. So, they may pay more then what most are paying.
Jay, that aint bad. I wish I had realized he was gonna be that close, may have taken some of my stuff up to him. He have any more stops this year around here?

Sheesh. Shouldn't be that hard - sammy ain't a trapper. And if one of us doesn't have a beer in his hand - it's me.
