Huntingson - Price is contingent on whether the hides are blue or prime, and size. ...and yeah, if you know where to look, there are still somebona-fide fur traders still around.

A "blue" hide will have unfavorable skin coloration, thin or sparse guard hairs (undercoat) - and is not the best for tanning purposes (hair slips). Blue hides are practically worthless. Lucky to net more than a few dollars.

Prime hides are whiter, with good follicle, good undercoat, good fur.

NCtaxi - The actual value of coon hides varies greatly, and you'll be really hard-pressed to find a $50 coon. I know I've never sold one for that much. An average prime coon will sell for between $5-$12.

So, unless Buckeye has a few hundred coons living in the yard, it's probably not gonna be all that profitable of a venture.
