When I do red squirrels I de-bone the tail and put them on actual squirrel stretchers. XXL squirrels go on the female mink boards. You can flesh them on the board with a spoon, not much to it.

They do make fine capes and things as garments, so I just remind myself that it isn't much time or effort to keep something from going to waste.

Just don't expect big money from them! laugh

They make camel hair brushes out of them.
One question not mentioned: fun in or out on a sretcher?

I would have never thought that there would be a market on those little red devils... I have been trying out new 22mag shell on them...almost skinned out with bone in tail if you hit them right...

as for the fly tyers...that was my first fly tying material when I was little. I couldnt see paying for them, but I guess that is why we actually have a hobby/job and this site!!! Sometimes it is good for others to "Spread the wealth"! I can see Mepps buying them (I wish I knew that when I was younger...had about 20 of them once)


mmmmm deep black mud

if you are in mo and you are selling squirrels in the fur market, you better recheck the regs and call your local CO, cause it is illegal.

joshua we have been selling for years
its not illegal here in mo
all the fur buyers are buying and we give our liscense # to them with what we sold and the CO's check their info all the time
if it was illeagle i have some friens that would be in big trouble cause they sell around 300 each year
