Trap line in

[dennishoddy]

I used to use a hose to wash them off, and a leaf blower to dry the fur. Doesn't work in this cold weather, so bought a choke pole.
It has a steel cable to loop over their head, and a trigger mechanism like a calking gun to tighten up. They expire pretty quick. No blood.

Dab off excess and freeze them. Ain't no way I am bathing a $7 coon. Probably losing money driving to retrieve it as it is. You might get an extra $1 to do the skinners work.

Last year the guy at Honeywell docked us for blood on the fur.
Coons are just gas money to get cats. I'm hearing the price isn't that good this year, but have three now.

I heard the same on prices. I am not even putting my traps out this year.

I was told by a guy at Oxford, KS that for a good sized coon, $12 to $14. Doesn't sound like the coon prices are good though. I also heard that coyote pelts were around that $15 mark.

That's more for coons than I've heard about the other Ks buyer quoting.

I fear for the quail and other ground nesting birds if the price (demand) stays low for years to come.

If there were as many trappers out last Saturday as there were pheasant hunters, there'd be a lot more birds.

Hate these things.
