    Bloody good on him but either they are bloody small or he is not getting a fair price. 42 coons would should be close to $300 @ $100 per kilo.

    Sounds like he needs you as an agent R93. Either that or dundee has taught his boy to only pluck the back half.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    agree with R93, price seems low unless they were small coons or bad fur
