Desert cats usually don’t. They just don’t get the heavy longer fur like a flagstaff, rim, or white mountain cat. Desert cats need to be taken in late December and January to reach their full potential. They can bring pretty good money. An earlier taken desert cat is too flat and short of hair, therefore worth very little. There are other factors also with all cats that make a difference. The wider and whiter the belly with clear black spots is what you want. Also a $50 average on Arizona coyotes is pretty darn good.
Here are the three cats that I took up there...
the one on the right I didn’t sell. As you can see it doesn’t have the whitest belly.
