5 years now of low fur prices. I know countless guys that don’t trap that used to. A guy talking to today said he quit & he doesnt think prices will come back?!?! He said they can “make fur” now out of cotton or some kind of material. New one to me but I don’t follow that stuff.
So- massive populations of them do make sense. Likely will get in check from disease. When farmers complain about “deer damage” - I will almost assure u- coons are the main culprit. They dug up a ton of seed this year on my fields & they are climbing the stalks already for the baby ears. Bad. I just contacted DNR on how to deal with nuisance coons & all the damage. Hopefully get a legal solution. Spring planted corn- Coon tracks, poo & pics of coons was staggering.
