I'll be selling a couple coyotes shortly (tanned) up in Cripple Creek for whatever i can get out of them. Got a couple buddy's that were netting 15-30 a piece this year from Colorado-quality furs.

Pick up a copy of Fur-Fish-Game magazine. Every month they have a "fur report" showing current prices being paid by fur buyers.

You do your own tanning I take it? What sort of costs are involved with that?

Before I went over sea's I was in a predator hunting club here in the valley area. I know they sold fur's once a year if they had enough, but I never found out how they found thier buyer or anything like that. Id like to go back but I started night scool and there's just know time right now. Ill be lucky to sneak in a deer hunt this year.

I sell a half dozen or so each year; there is a fur buyer out of Nebraska that makes a route through Colorado and other states and will buy them whole on the carcass. $5 to $25 is what I have gotten for my Colorado 'yotes and don't have to skin them. when I kill one I bag it in a 50 gallon garbage bag and throw in my big chest freezer until I can meet up with Petska. There is one in the freezer now. lol

Tanning hides isn't expensive at all. I use to do it a lot years ago. It is more time comsuming then anything.
