Where do y'all get your fur for projects? I could probably scare some good stuff up for you from time to time. Badger, possum, raccoon, skunk, groundhog, coyote, fox, bobcat....

My Friend, Here in the NW & in the BP/ML community, "pelts" are fairly avail. @ our recent trade show, there was 3 large "vendors. Wish I knew you were looking. 
Also @ many of the "rondy's pelts are avail.
You might, contact this mam -Puyallup Valley Taxidermy - (253) 922-1717 ( He is an Honest "trader")
Also go here & as for what you need ( + there may be sources in your area)

No, Jack, I am a trapper myself. I was offering up some nice pelts. Thanks, though, you are a good egg.

Could you put up some of the things you have and some prices? I don't know of any locals around my parts that sell them. Its good to know someone here selling them, I'd rather pay back into here than to another virtual vendor. Also, do you barter or $$$ only?

Bartering is a happy thing. Let me see what I can drag together.

Always shopping for quality pelts. Definitely interested in pix and pricing.

I have a few left, but, what I am trying to do here is get a feel for how many traps I should set in my line next season based upon the demand for pelts.
If you were going to buy a pelt today, what pelt would it be?
1.Bobcat
2.Coyote
3.Raccoon
4.Skunk
5.Possum
6.Badger
7.Groundhog
8.Other, please tell me.
Also, how about bigger game hides? Deer, bear, etc. And how about birds?

My friend, are the pelts already tanned? Or, are they raw furs?

If they're already finished, I'm definitely interested in bobcat, badger and skunk. Fox (several types) and beaver would also make my list

Beaver is a PITA to tan, but beautiful when finished. Muskrat is the most popular---most fur coats are muskrat that they call something else. I am going to work a LOT harder at getting mink next season, too.
