Title: Hide market?
Post by: quadrafire on November 02, 2009, 01:12:37 PM: When I was a kid I trapped alot. Sold the hides after drying, or sometimes frozen. Is there a market nowdays for coyotes, coon etc. If not, what do you all do with your pelts?

I'm not going to bother this year and have yet to find a bob.

Just make sure you have the proper licenses to sell to a non fur dealer.

Not worth the time skinning for me.
