The selling season we have just experienced has been one of the most challenging in a long time, primarily due to one of the warmest winters on record in China, Russia and Europe. The warm temperatures had an extremely negative affect on retail sales, with many retailers reporting clearances of 50% or below. The prices in the past year were actually very good, looking at 20-30 a coon last November. The prices now fell to about 5.
Do you believe that the prices will rise? or will they continue to stay very poor?

Good job replying! I do think you could have explained the problem a bit better.
It depends on if other countries are willing to buy them and make products with them. i think they will rise due to coon population going to down.
The coon population is actually pretty good. 2 years back their was a low, but last year and this year seem to have pretty good numbers.
It will depend on who wants fur and the temperatures.
I agree, global warmings a witch.
It just depends on the demand for the fur. If there is no demand, the trend will continue.
I agree. on the dot home slice. supply and demand
I believe that they will stay poor because Raccoon's are very common.
I believe the commonality has nothing to do with it. Its all about the other country's. coons have been thick around these parts forever. That really hasn't changed.
I think they will rise trapping is big here in Iowa so the prices will eventually go up and last year was a good year for trapping man
