I dont know how much I will get until the guy I sell to puts them up. Its a deal we worked out so we both dont take a hit if there should be a bad pelt. Yes I dont usually skin them, I take a small hit doing it that way but I'm not very good at fleshing coons not do I have the time to put up that many at a time.

Back in the mid 70s  WOW im tellin my age  :)  I took all my pelts to a guy in troy NY by the name of Ed Feathers, they had to be fleshed and stretched, but all my rats and mink I just rolled them up put them in a bag and stuck them in the freezer then took them all in at once. Back then a good rat would bring about 7 - 8 bucks and a big coon 20 - 25  You could make a pretty good $ doing it. I got a safe full of guns that trapping paid for. Good luck this season.     TC
