How do you skin a raccoon? How much our the coon skins worth, and where would you sell them?

the guy above me covered how to skin them, but i thought id add the prie around my house is usually about 15-20, depending on the condition of the fur and the size of the coon. Any fur trader will take em, just ask some other hunters where they take theirs and where you can get them. Some places wont give you what the bullet to kill it with is worth.How do you skin a raccoon? How much our the coon skins worth, and where would you sell them?
to skin a raccoon you cut the fur around all for of the paws then you cut a straight line from the back leg to the butt hole to the leg (it should be pretty straight) then you cut around the butt hole and pull down on the hid, you then should be level with the tail cut the tail off of the body leaving it conected to the fur then pull the fur down the body till you reach the ears (you will know when this happins) cut them from the body then down to the eyes cut them from the body(always pulling on the fur) then your at the mouth and you cut the tip of the coons nose off and sever the hid from the body at the chin. that is how you skin a coon .....raccoons are worth as much as $18 this year and you sell them to the local buyers
