Coyote prices
Is this real? I had a guy tell me yesterday that someone was buying whole coyotes for $60. I'm turn pretty small numbers annually, 6-20 dogs a year. Half usually go to the tanner to be made into wall hangers. I sell wall hangers for $150. I make $50 after tanning. The best I've ever done at auction was $110. I was thinking that at $60 a dog and no work, it might be a great lazy mans option. Is this a thing? Do guys buy at this price? Thoughts?

I was always under the impression that a frozen dog went for $15-$20, they are always from guys who are not trappers and are usually shot. Adding extra time for sewing holes, washing blood out of the fur and brushing. Is this fair?

IMHO...Depends how big of holes and how it was handled after it was shot... probably half that are shot are worth less

If your only getting $50 a dog after all the work and tanning it then you are getting ripped off a few bucks as well. I sell mine for $210. I figure $100 to tan and my time running around and shipping costs plus an average of around $100 I would have got at the auction anyhow is how I come up with $210.

That's usually the going price around here. At $60/coyote I'd be bringing the fella all of my pups.....lol. I wouldn't expect to get more than that for them after putting them up and sending them to auction.
I've heard similar stories about guys getting big bucks for whole dogs and pelts but no one can ever produce a name. Kinda like samsquatches, people say that they exist but no one ever sees one.

with the recent thread about paying someone $20 for processing coyotes as getting raped, why do you think $60 is a lot for whole dogs that sell for $100?? In my area guys would gladly give $60.

don't know who you think I am??? 1st time ever on here, I'm from Manitoba.
Unless you guys have dark yotes that don't average over $100, then yeah I would be skeptical of getting $60 for whole, like I said, around my parts that's easy money.

coyote prices
I heard today that someone was buying whole coyotes for $50 apiece, the guy who told me didn't know his number though, and that made me scratch my head!? I'd sell mine whole for $50 each all day long.

You seem to know about the thread on skinning prices which someone called coyote skinner commented on. What are you talking about dark coyotes. Had western heavies dark bring 144$ at Nafa.

have been browsing this forum for a while, just registered today.
So you guys think charging $20 for processing is rape but yet you think that buying snared frozen whole coyotes for $60, and selling for $100+, the guy making $40+ is buying for to much, and making to little?
I just don't understand your logic. Please forgive my slow thinking mind trying to keep up with you.

Just curious......What were you fellas getting last year for your M-SM and XL-L dogs?
I may be out to lunch but......I'm hoping for a $100 average for my 2XXL dogs.
You guys jumping at selling your whole coyotes for $50 have me scared. Is the time spent putting them up playing a big part in your willingness to take $50 for them? A $50 average doesn't sound all that great to me but then again, it's a lot easier.

kinda smells around here... Stinking boy cows
Maybe somebody would pay $60 for a coyote or two if they were able to buy a whack of coyites off a guy. The game is to have happy clients that you are buying from. So then for ever coyote you pay $60 for, you pay $20 for three instead of $30. That's the game, make excuses why those ones are $20 instead of $30 and whatever, and the guy is just ecstatic cuz he got $60 a coyote, even though we all know now that he didn't get $60 on any!
It's true, good fur buyers are math whizzes. Let th games begin.
Sorry coyote skinner, there was another coyote skinner on the forum in the spring who got run off by everybody. The funny thing was that he was actually the biggest custom skinner in Saskatchewan, probably Canada, very qualified and also quantified! Just never know who you are talking to on the internet

I just sent my fur to nafa and the shipper is also a fur buyer. He told me he isn't paying more than $25 for whole snared. And shot if it is a small cal $20. Also it is a sliding scale and it only slides one way. Big cal shot he said no way won't buy. He said in this market he won't be taking risk on buying questionable fur.
He also was saying that he gets calls every year cause one guy told another guy that he was paying large amounts for whole yotes. The guy heard he was paying $80/ yotes which wasnt true.

oh how I wish I was in Alberta right now!! Buying snared coyotes for $25, I would be RICH!! You guys are working WAY to hard and not getting anything!!
Bill, tell that fur buyer to go shove it, you are the guy doing the work getting them, processing while it is hard work, no way he should be making $75+!! That is getting RAPED.

I ship all mine to nafa. I don't like dealing with middle men. We were just talking about the fur buying industry. If you want pm me I can tell you his circuit. If you want to go a day or so later and pick up the ones he declined. I would sell all my yotes whole for 60$.
And yes there was another coyoteskinner on here as Marty said. But he enjoyed taunting and ticking guys off regardless of his resume. Welcome to the forum.
