RE: Fur economy stopped?
The last I heard, they were still buying fur in western Ohio. Just a few days ago, my sister's boyfriend in Illinois was quoted 8-10 as top dollar for coons. So, i assume that they are still buying fur there.

A $5 average sounds about right considering you might get 10 bucks for a top dollar coon and you will only get a couple bucks or less for anything below a large or X-large.
