coon trapping are they worth anything to trap

[Seriousshooter1]

I haven't trapped coon in over 10 years due to the prices not being worth a damn here in Nebraska? Is anyone still trapping and what are some current prices on coyotes and coons.

Only Coyote worth anything are Western Heavies and probably averaging $25-$30 put up. Coons you'll probably average in $6-$7 range put up. IMO not worth committing a ton of time. Not sure if anyone is buying on the carcass yotes anymore. If so I guess getting $10-$15 for just walking out and picking up a dead yote isn't bad. Would I spend time running a line if it wasn't on my daily route...no.

I agree. I don’t put up any fur, and only sell green to Groenwold. Coons are only a few dollars, and I saw him turn away some coyotes. This is in southern WI. Even the beavers I sold were worth less this year than last. But, if I can save a few turkeys and fawns, it’s worth it to me.

If you care about your turkeys, then yes trapping coons is definitely worth it.

If you care about turkeys, and want to save money on Christmas tree ornaments, then trap em.

To me it’s worth it to protect turkey, pheasant, quail, etc. not worth it for the dollars. There are entirely too many of them now that so few guys trap.
