    Anybody know how much an albino coon would go for. Just saw one in my woods when i was putting coon traps out. Would've shot it but it was in a den with another coon.

    It's illegal to shoot them when they are inside the tree, but besides that it was twenty feet up!! lol

    Do the regs say anything about gathering firewood while trapping? Grab a chainsaw, albino coon will no longer be UP in a tree. Lol on a serious note, thats a heck of a sighting. Hope you get'em and get a nice check, bet thats some pretty rare fur

    If you do get it, a taxidermist would probably may more than the fur buyer.
