Yikes, that sucks for all the hard work of fleshing. Especially rats going for the same price as friggin coon.
Man it really is sad how low rices are compared to what we used to get back in the 80s and early 90s Don.
I remember Brian. With Russia and China not buying it's gonna be tough. On the bright side there sure are a lot of like new traps for sale. [emoji12]
That's a bunch of shit! Sorry to hear Don!
Question, can you hold on to Em till next year in case the prices go up?

How many guys are doing it primary for the money any more? Seems like most guys do it to kill yotes and stay busy. The money on the back end is just a nice perk.

They are really tricky to hold over from one season to the next. You have to freeze them but you have to be super careful they don't freezer burn TOO.
Not many guys I know do it for the money any more. The prices have declined for the last couple of years so the money trappers are starting to get weeded out. I really do love doing it and by no means do it for the money, but it's still nice to get a little check.
Thanks buddy.
Most of the guys doing it for a living live where they can get $400 for bobcats, $100 for coyotes, or lynx, wolverine, marten, etc. It's definitely not like the old days when you were getting $40 for a good coon.
