I am on my first year trapping, did really good for my first fall with coyotes, coon an beaver. Wondering what other than the fur you all keep to sell? I have been keeping my castor and oil sacks. Thanks!

Keep the beaver meat for predator bait as well as tail for sale or making tail oil. Keep anal glands from coyote, check coyote bladder for urine, toss coon carcasses near other guys sets. ( Not really on coon carcasses) coon carcass and coyote carcass make good buzzard bait which will get attention of all predator. This may not make extra money but it will save you some.

All glands have value, even a small amount. Skulls for sure.


Common sense catches alot of fur..

Coon - baculum

Coyote - baculum, skulls, claws

Beaver - skulls/teeth. Tails

Not a lot of money individually but it all adds up. Pays for a tank or two of gas.

Some times you have to hunt around for a buyer or market.

Moscow H&F has a web site that lists all the misc parts and pieces they buy. www.furbuyer.com

You can find a few people to sell meat coons to.

This past season I found a market for beaver meat and was making a lot more off the meat than the hide and castor.

Do those of you that keep skulls have beetles or are you cooking them out?
