Coyote Fur Royalty

[cricket]

Just out of curiosity for the guys that are keeping/selling their coyote pelts, how much is the mnr charging for the royalty this year?

[fratri]

Not sure but I think our Ontario eastern coyote r getting less than half of what western coyotes go for....so guessing $30 average....only guessing have not seen the auction results yet....should be out soon

Thats not what I meant Frati, the royalty is something trappers and hunters have to pay on the furs they keep/harvest. 4 years ago I had one tanned and I think I paid around a buck fifty($1.50). Some call it a Queens tax. The trappers have the royalty deducted from the furs they sell. I suspect most guys that are shooting them didnt know if they keep or sell the hides they have to pay the royalty, the trappers here would know for sure. I think the Taxidermists would know about them as well.

Not many coyote pelts sold so far, somewhere around 75% unsold..average about 56.90 USD, top was about 78.00 USD
royalty is 1 or 1.08 something like that IIRC.

Western always bring higher, less yellow in the belly among other things.

Just a clarification.........if you LAWFULLY take a coyote under your HUNTING license, you owe no royalty UNTIL/UNLESS you offer the skin or pelt for sale...GENERALLY.

That's the key. No royalty is paid if we intend to keep the hide. Once we decide to sell,that's when the royalty needs to be paid.

ARE we running out of things to post/talk about?????????

"Just a clarification.........if you LAWFULLY take a coyote under your HUNTING license, you owe no royalty UNTIL/UNLESS you offer the skin or pelt for sale...GENERALLY."

At the time you obtain a license to send the hide to a tanner (ie Taxidermist) a royalty must be paid according to the Furbearing Mammals regulations on page 82, but there is some changes coming that Im not clear on see page 5
I hope someone can shed some light on this. probably should have posted this on the trapping forum.

The taxidermist I go to never asked or mention anything about Royalty. I keep all my hides to myself anyway.

I believe the crown sets the royalty at 3% of the previous year's average sales price.

Looks more like 5.5% of average sales price. Each province has its own rate. Coyote will be $2.00 this year.
