coon and foxes are case skinned while beavers are split down the belly and skinned flat. go to http://www.furharvesters.com/PDF/pelthandling.pdffor more info on how to do this. As far as the prices, im not sure what you can get in your area. I averaged a little over $10 dollars for my coons last year in Missouri. Check out the Fur-Fish-Game magazine, they give an article every month on current fur prices.
