We need to move
I hate to burst the bubble but prime western coyotes went for about $40-$50 at the Western states Fur Auction last year.
The money is in Bobcats. Bobcats sold like crazy and averaged about $570 or so. Looks like cat prices high enough to make trapping them a priority if you have them in your area. You can look up the prices at trappingtoday.com
I trapped from the time I was about 8 or 10 years old until about 10 years ago. I started off using Hawbaker's "Trapping North American Furbearers" catching muskrats, coons, foxes. When the Navy stationed me in the Aleutians I cleaned up on Arctic Fox.
I have been in western Washington for the past 10 years and leg hold traps are not legal here so I have not trapped. My Dad who lives in central Nebraska traps mainly coyotes and beaver catching 100 or so 'yotes and 30 or 40 beaver in addition to the odd coon or muskrat. He loves it and it keeps him busy when he can't ride his horses. Provides enough money to finance his Musky fishing hobby.
