Default Coyote prices

Just wondering if there's a place I can look up projected coyote prices if there is such a thing? Or what do you guys think it'll be this year.

Checkout NAFA. They have last auction prices listed, give you a bit of an idea.
Sounds like they expect coyotes to do well again this year.

with no over stock for the next few sales and Russia getting back into furs , prediction on beaver and coyote to be above last yrs average prices. . How much ??? find the average dog price and add 20% .. $50-$75.00 predicted price on a average dog.. get above average dog you may see $80-above. If your not a trapper and not selling to the market you may get $1/4 of this from other sources.

its not just alberta selling that determines prices and stocked fur on hand.. Its all Canada and the world market on furs, which will create the price/ world supply and demand.

I realize it's not just Alberta, I was just trying to get a feel for this Prov. So based on 15000 from here alone on just one animal at an average price of 60 bucks that's a nice cash return for the sport.. about 900,000 dollars. I just may have to get serious into this, but the wife would not be able to handle it if I turned the garage into a hide prep shop.. lol

Well she has to have someplace to skin and prep the hides. I'm sure she'd appreciate it when it's -40 outside and she's skinning in a nice warm garage.
