Rog - Can you sell the raccoon hides? I'll answer my own question: You can sell anything, if a market exist, then it could be sold.
What I wanted to know, Do you sell raccoon hides? How stable is the fur trade today, compared to scrap metal prices? What are the prices for say top three available hides in your area? I know there's lots of rural scrap metal yards, that buy hides and fur skins.
When I was in H.S. growing up in the Ouichita mountains (mid 70's), I used to go raccoon hunting with a friend of mine. We used dogs, my friend actually made more money raising and training "Coon Dogs" then he did hides. I can tell you a good dog team can be very productive in a night of raccoon hunting. I believe he got $20 a hide, some nights we would bag 10 to 15 raccoon's. What I always remember how smart those dogs were.
