Oh 7 Coyote Prices
Just sold 44 dogs and did I ever take a lickin.For the lot of them I got a grand total of $580 and that was with a $10 bounty included. I had a number,eleven with only bounty value, but still 33 and some were dandiesthat brought only $140 without bounty. Past few years I have averaged $35 or so with a bounty and I remember the days of coyotes bringing $315 at the auction and averages close to $200 for a good dog -my how things change.

Where did ya sell ?
NAFA hasn't cleared last years yet so it doesn't look promising.... |
bad buyer
dont want to bad mouth buyer but the truth is the truth.will email you.
|
Wow $13.20 a coyote, I would have to think that you're loosing money. That's way to low of price to kill an animal I think.
|
MB, if I didn't thin them out, next thing ya know they'd be sitting in here watching TV with me.
|
Can't be making any money though are you?
|
very few coyote hunters actually turn a profit if you add up all the fuel, new gear, spent rounds, breakfast with the boys.part of the fun of it is that most guys dont count on for income otherwise it would be WORK and that would take the excitement out of it.i agree selling a nice pelt is a huge bonus rather than letting the dog rot out in the field.it also helps to justify that new scope or camo you have been eyeing up.
|
No, for sure, its no money maker most years....the $$ just helps to defray some expenses.
|
yeah its not good this year. Im gettin 10 bucks unskinned and bout 15 for skinned. But for like most guys, its just enjoyment
Keep rackin' em' up boys |
MB1, get lost, any time I make any money doing the sport I love to do is a bonus. Some people just don't get that and I don't care. Must be a bad night for me, every post I'm on is just getting me riled with the stupidity of it all.

Welcome fellow Wetaskiwinite
****ker Fur 8629 126 Ave Nw Edmonton, AB , T5B 1G8 Phone: 780-474-5552 |
****ker fur is not buying Coyotes this year. You may be able to sell to a Hutterite colony in your area, or have them put up your fur. Richard, from Wildcat Bullets is in your area, he might have more info for you.

I agree that if I was chasing coyotes for money I'd of quit 40 years ago. As for people that ask what the prices are, I ask what a golf ball is worth as most of them will hunt them in the bush.
|
thanks just would like to know where to bring the dog out of the field. would feel better to make use of the fur
|
where do you go around town here would you like to go out calling one afternoon and maby share some secrets to coyote hunting
|
fair price
You want fair dollar then skin, flesh, stretch and ship to auction. It is fact that farm buyers or stores pay about 30 percent they have to make a buck also. Its not the old days but I average between 70.00 to 100.00 at auction.

Think you'll get that this year, I have heard so many rumors of $35.00 for top dog this year. |
dont know
Good question, I have to squeeze every dollar out of my dogs so finish them all up. I have not seen the first set of nafa results as thats who I ship through, cannot afford to sell to a country buyer, I wished I had a crystal ball to forsee auction results, but am waiting for a later auction to see some starting prices, if your skinning freeze them for awhile if there stretched hang them in a cold place and wait it out. Good luck and let us know your average.

Nice looking coyotes, 300.
|
so any one giving lessons ?
lesson on how to properly ready a coyote for sale at market looks like no one is taking frozen whole ones i have found on the internet a few measurments for stretchers but how do you know what size coyote you have to stretch, and what colores are more valuble and what is too damaged to be sold?
|
I make my own boards paillight, they're basically 2 1x4 boards that I've cut and shaped from a pattern I made from my first split board I got from a garage sale. Using a split board allows you to stretch any size coyote on 1 board as a pelt will only stretch so much. I'll get some measurements and pics for you this weekend.

thanks. i am really green on this
thanks ruger i have heard you can stretch them too much i would like to know how to properly prepair the fur . been reading a little seems like a pressure washer is the easy way to clean the body but how do you clean all the tissues off the inside of the head and what do you do with the frount leggs? do they get tacked to the stretching board too some how? and are they left inside out so many questions to be asked . i am really green on this
|
trail and error. haha i remember being in the same boat as you a couple years ago. The front legs remain as they are on the outside the body just folded down.
|
I bought my stretchers at Halford Hide for about $16 each.
|
any volenteers?
it would be great if some one would not mind to show me a few tricks of the trade. i really like going out on weekend and calling, but taking the next step to market is the hardest it seems and a whole lot less exciting
