Thanks Fenelon, thats what I was looking for.

"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.

I believe after 2013 and the revisions for 2014 the royalty is "waived"(for lack of a better word) if you aren't selling it or exporting it even if tanning yourself or having it done.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, as a hunter I cannot sell my furs unless I'm a licensed trapper?

[skypilot]

They will use your small game license # since you don't have an ATN

Yes you can sell, you need a fur selling permit which is free, I think they just changed that law. You only need to go online and fill out the paperwork or something like that.

Thats why I asked the question. I was willing to bet that most didnt know anything about the royalty. I know some Taxidermist would tan one without asking , however, I have had 2 done over the years from 2 different Taxidermist and both wanted the permit number or what ever you want to call it. After reading some of the stipulations it definetly is not easy to figure out. The MNR even has a permit for an untaned hide (which they call a pelt I think) if it is kept after the season closes versus a tanned hide.

So.. What do I do to sell a pelt though.. Who do I call?

Last year the royalty fee was $1.90 per yote so I'm sure it will be up a bit this year.

3wheelerdude, you must use a backwoods small tax man as the 3 taxidermists that I know that have tanned pelts for guys in our group wouldn't have anything to do with the hide until you have the permit.
