huntingson - the taxidermy market can bear $50 coons if done correctly. Around here, NC, I can't get that, our fur pretty much sucks. But in his locale he can get $35-$50 for good quality taxidermy skins. I can get $10 eachish for meat market coons, and yes, as gross as it is there is a meat market for coons. Even possums. So if I know the meat guy, I can skin them, for taxidermy, get $10 for meat, get $20 for taxidermy. So that's a $30 coon. Heck I even heard about a bounty like money program somewhere where they pay $25 a coon for some kind of medical BS.
