This has been my first season, I have learned alot in a short time. I would like to thank all that have been nice enough to answer the dumb questions I have had.
Sold to Groenwoeld today with a long time coon hunter who has used them many times.
I dried and stretched only 3 coons this year and sold the rest 'green' I think you call them.
BIG coons today brought $ 33.00 each. MINK $ 14.00 Each Muskrat $ 3.25 each Possum: $ 2 each.
I know this may not be the HIGHEST prices but I got the money in hand and a great sense of satisfaction. Talked to alot of people in the line (That might have been the best part)
I got to ask the buyer about how he felt I had prepared my stretched coons and possums for tips for next year.
Can't beleive how many of the trappers I met were over 70... met one that 79.
Can't wait till next year.
P.S. It paid .25 cents more for the Muskrats SKINNED... I threw one up there NOT skinned for a reference.
Thanks to all again for all the help.

Congrats.
You said BIG coons were $33.00 - I assume that's fully put up. What did you get for smaller coon?

You put up the hard ones. Smaller ones are 2x as easy.
