Fur-Fish-Game magazine has a monthly fur market report written by Gary Schroeder. It sounds like most fur is down right now except for good quality coyotes, pine marten, bobcat, lynx and otter.
The old staples like muskrat and raccoon seem to be low right now but that could change over night, at least on the rats. Raccoon have been low for so long now I don't know if they'll ever turn back to their 1970's prices.
Fur always has value, though sometimes not enough to cover the expense of harvesting it. I trapped a lot of beaver several years when I made more off the castors than I did the fur. A recreational trapper has to sometimes looks at his sport as just that and accept that the low fur prices only serve to partially defray the cost of participating in his chosen sport and enjoy the years when the prices are high enough to reward him with some profit.
