Anywhere from $3-$8 put up at my local buyer.
Northern Indiana buyers gave me $10 in the round, $18 skinned and fleshed.

In the late 70's my dad fed our family of 7 on a trappers income while his processing plant was on strike. As I recall coyotes were $30-50, Red fox were $60-85, Coons got $20-35 and possums brought a measly $8-10.

Jason,
Some of my re-call is a tad shoddy at best. At one time[in that general time era]... Red Fox got up to $100.00 & Coyote = $40.00 .
Of course, then [everyone & their Bro..."probably included Grandmother's" as well]. Went after them .
Needless to say, they hammered the Red Fox. Didn't dent the Coyotes. Then the fur prices plummeted.
The coyotes, then hammered the Red Fox. When the pressure ceased. Was not a good time, for the Red's.

At some point... before the fur boom I'm sure... there was a bounty on Fox around here. Dad used to get $2 for a pair of ears pinned together with a safety pin.
He said he'd always wait until Tuesdays and Thursdays to turn them in at the courthouse because the girl that worked the desk on those days wouldn't touch them so he could sell her a few cats ears too!

We used to get $25-$40 for raw green hides back in the seventies; coyotes. Big bullet holes accounted for the spread.
We never could stretch hides here, not cold enough and the flies lay eggs in the nose, etc. We usually just stored them in a freezer, packed them real good, and cashed them in while on a hunting trip. Not the best solution, but worked for us.
Not worth it, at today's prices, except for cats.
Good hunting. LB

If I re-call correctly. In Iowa, [Marhsall County]anyways. There was a bounty on a pair of Jack ear's, coyote, Startling feet & gophers.
Dad, would pin the Jack ear's on the garage each yr. We got many-o-Reds & Jack's with the sighthounds every fall & winter. Man....those were the days, cherished memories , gone now .
Good times w/Dad, stored in my head.

My fur buyer gave me $20 Canadian straight across the board for unskinned coyotes. That would be $16.80 American. This was in Saskatchewan.

Lungbuster,
It sounds like your local buyer had a good contract to fill last year. You might check to see if he has the same thing going this year!
