They are borderline prime right now. The thing with coon trapping is that as soon as the weather gets real cold, they den up. We will trap them until freeze up and then switch over to running mink line. When the snow gets deep we will most likely break some trail with snowshoe and set for fox and coyote. Depends on work load and weather. Coons are supposed to bring $10 or so this year, we will have to see. They are talking like muskrats could average $8! The word is fur is going to be worth some money this season. Buyer swings through town on Dec 5th, so I'll let you all know what our coons bring. We trap them for their pelts.
