Find a trapper, they will give you the best prices. some of the options i have come arcoss
1 buy the animal attached to the pelt and skin it yourself very low cost.
2 buy the animal attached to the pelt and get your own tax to do it.
3 buy the pelt of the trappers and get him to skin it (higher cost)
for myself i tried to get a timber wolf.
i was told 500 for skined off the animal
or 125 for the animal pelt on the animal and i could bring it to a tax or do it myself.
so there are ways to get your cost down

Well the only game I have ever "skinned" was a rabbit and I pretty much just yanked it out of its skin. I am thinking of buying on that is skinned and tanned professionally so it will look good. Why should this be locked?
Yep x3 on the wtf should the thread be locked?
Since you're just looking for furs to put on things, small holes and the such are probably ok right? Holes, condition, quality of fur and all that effect price of furs on the fur market, but probably don't matter to you.
I'm busily tanning some of my older furs that were in the freezer... if you plan on trying to tan a skin, I would recommend practicing on stuff that's easy to get, because you're going to screw up a lot initially. I don't use any modern chemical tans either, so that makes it harder of course.

Well I do want my own but I do not yet have the money/skills to hunt any thing worth taking its pelt from AND the skill to do it yet. I am a city boy whos the only hunter/shooter in the family...the last ones that did so did it in the 30's and 40's and sadly I never met them.
the p^roblem with the threads like this is thy are used by antis for fishing .not saying this one is . but it is something to be aware of . .you can by products that are done by a license tannery .a trapper can us the pelts he gets for his own us if he pâys a royalty and tans the hides him self her may not sell them .if he getts a tannery to do the hides thy will put a stamp on the hide and then it can be sold..it is just that a lot of people do not know the laws involved in fur handeling DUTCH
I'm going to have to stop reading your posts, they're beginning to make my head hurt
How can you go from this
to this
Its a simple royalty fee. You don't need a license to possess the pelt.
Most hunters would know, its in the hunting/trapping regs.

Im not sure how it is where you are located but in the ontario hunting regs it actually does state that you do need a special license to be in possession of a pelt of a fur bearing animal. This applies to both hunted animals and road killed animals. Until the angels fall not sure if you have a copy of the hunting regs but info can be found on pages 13, 28, and 74 regarding the license and what not. I know this is a little bit off of what you where asking but it pertains to it as well.

Awesome...something else I need a "lisence" for (read fee) for me to be given the thumbs up to own a object
The OP is in WMU 91,92, etc... its all year open for coyote. Shoot yourself, skin it, keep it, your good to go, no closed season. Licence is only for closed season. Check with the MNR if your in doubt. DO NOT buy, sell, and especially IMPORT from the USA. That case 2 years ago of the moose head going to the states cost the person a ton of money and fines and seizure.
