Third Party Wild Game Spoilage - Legality

Agreed!! Why not process the pelt, send it off and let the fur warehouse determine whether it's of value or not?

If I could find some one to process and tan it, I would keep it myself. I have a few friends that would like a tanned pelt. Also with the fur places on the west coast selling pelts for close to $200, someone just wanting one for the den would be happy to cover the cost of processing.

You could process and tan it yourself. It's not expensive,but,it's very time consuming and except for scraping the flesh from the hide with a draw knife on a board,it's not too much hard work. YouTube has many "how to" videos.

Time...not too much of that at home right now. No shed to work in, don't think karen would let me do it in the house..

Skin and take home yup. Fleshing and tanning....not on your life. I have been to and driven by the tannery in Milwaukee. Not a smell I need in the backyard...or the house.

There is a tannery in BC called advanced fur dressers that a lot of taxidermists use to get stuff tanned. maybe they would supply price list to se if it would be beneficial to send your fur there to get tanned then process it yourself.

No quite accurate...a spectacular one might get you 1/2 that:

Hughes will pay trappers an average of $75 to $105 and as much as $120 for a western coyote. He sells to operations that create trim strips, which sells to garment makers.

Since we are mostly talking about Eastern coyotes here, much less than that;

At the Herkimer auction, eastern coyotes tended to sell for $19 to $46. Rutherford made more than $200 for seven coyote furs.

Viable means marketable and unless they are shot in the winter (Jan/Feb) most coyote pelts are not viable. Ever try to skin a yote shot in the summer ?? The tics alone make you walk away.

They are environmentally friendly though...chuck the carcass in the bush and a plethora of wildlife will feed off them.

So far,Coyotes that have been shot on my friend's farms in south central Ontario where I hunt are in terrible condition. They were unsalvageable and got buried. As for shipping green pelts to BC,forget it. They won't accept eastern pelts because they have enough of their own to deal with (or so I'm told). Besides,shipping costs and royalties,alone,make it cost prohibitive.

Just looked at the prices, top quality ones have come down about $50.

I have been watching the price. Karen has said she would like a Coyote Fur coat. All the coats I have looked at are made for Women that are like 5' 8' to 6' 2" and would not fit her well. Sleeves too long etc.

I was going to buy the furs and give them to her at Christmas. "Here is your fur coat dear....Some ASSEMBLY required."

Funny, and there is a bit of truth to it...

Years ago I gave Karen a gift for Valentine's day at the weekly Ham radio breakfast. I waited till most people had done eating, and then I gave her a green felt covered Jewellery box like a Necklace or Bracelet would come in. Ruth ( an Ex girlfriend) was very upset that her boyfriend had not even gotten her a gift. Then Karen opened the box and was happy and smiling. Inside the box was a length of cord with loops woven into each end. Ruth to this day is Po'ed that she first did not get a gift and second mad because I could give Karen a piece of string for Valentine's day and Karen thinks it was a great gift. Ruth has no idea that it's a finger sling you use when shooting Archery.
