[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1767776, member: 21194"] Yup. We don't have muskrats here, but we have plenty of coons. Good quality hides were bringing $20.00 or more back around 1980, and that was a lot of money back then. $26.00 was the most I ever got for one. I never had a trap line, but a buddy did, and I helped him run it a time or two. I did participate in quite a bit of spotlighting for coons. There was also a market for coyote and possum hides (maybe others; but that's all I can remember). I'll never forget that they paid $4.00 for possum hides, or $2.00 for the whole possum. My buddy and I decided real quick that as bad as they smelled it wasn't worth $2.00 to skin a possum. [/QUOTE]
