Are their any furbuyers around VT? I'm aware of the prices. I'm going to start calling soon. I was wondering if anyone would buy coyotes or if I should just not shoot them because.

There are annual auctions, used to be two. Might be some traveling fur buyers around but I don't know. I only trap enough to tan on my own and make stuff so I haven't yet gotten into that aspect of it. From what I've read in the trappers post, coyotes are anticipated to be down this year, but it doesn't hurt trying or just holding until next year if they bounce back. On that note I highly recommend reading the trappers post. has lots of great articles, info and projections on markets, and state by state news. You get a subscription with the 25 dollar membership to the Vermont trappers association, which alone is helpful for the future of trapping here. They work with wardens and legislators, put on events, and teach the trapper Ed courses. They would also have more info on fur buyers so I'd reach out to them.
