New York State Trapping 2013

The 2013 New York State trapping season should have good outcomes for many trappers. The good outcomes will come by the prices of the different furs. This is because the prices are fairly high this year. The number of animals that trappers are getting this year a lower than average. However the higher prizes for the fur should make up for the decrease in the number of animals caught. The prices for raccoons this year are between $10 to $14 for average sized raccoons. The prices for a red fox range from $25 to $38. A grey fox will go for $15 to $25. Finally a coyote will sell for $10 to $22. Those prices usually depend on the size of the animal, the colors on the animal’s fur, and the condition of the fur. Usually the fur will be in a better condition later in the season. Those are just the usual and more common animals that people usually trap. Most fur buyers prefer to have the raccoon furs sold to them raw. So all you have to do is catch them and then skin the raccoon and roll it up and put it in a plastic bag and then put it in the freezer. Then the day before you sell them you can thaw hem out. All you usually have to do with the red fox, gray fox, and coyotes is to catch them, skin them, and then put them on a stretch bored and let them dry out for a day or two.  Most fur buyers will purchase the furs in these conditions. The New York State trapping season for 2013 has already started. It is open on October 25 and goes until November 15. So if you would like to make some money doing something that you love then I recommend trapping.
