That's just way wrong. Sounds like prices won't put any additional pressure on em this year.

I've talked to two fur buyers up here in Randolph County. The guy at C&J Furs told me that he would give me $2 to $3 for that coyote I caught back in October. The guy in Ridgeville told me he would give the same because October coyotes with the red tint aren't worth much at all. Now, they did both tell me that come January, coyote prices will go up to $20 to $30. They said that fox prices will be up too come then!

Wow can't believe prices are that low this year...

the only way to turn a profit trapping is to get licensed for nuisance wildlife control work. Then those 50 cent coons become 100 dollar coons...or more.
When I started trapping, my very first coon sold in the round was actually road kill...$38. Used that money to buy my first dozen traps (1 1/ 2 longsprings for $28). Fox at that time were bringing 70-80 on carcass.
the down side to good fur prices...EVERYONE becomes a "trapper", many become fur thieves. Nothing like running a 300 trap line only to find a good number have been checked for you by some thief.
