Nope, its all about preserving tons of other beneficial wildlife. I used to back in the 80's sell whole, but now I'm preserving wildlife AND buzzards. Of course thats if even they eat them--Im not sure!

No as there's no market over here, if there was I'm not sure it I would or not. Though on saying that I would like some nice pelts tanned for home, if only there was a good local tannery.

Glad to see more votes for keeping fur than tossing it. It's good to see a resource utilized.

Its not wasting a resource perse, its saving others---- better to waste a few and save many.

I agree with you and wish we had the tannery's that you guys have.

I can sure see both sides. Whether you use the pelts or not, you're still doing the other animals a huge favor!

Special hides from special hunts yea. Coyotes only if it is an exceptional hide. Fox, cats, badgers most of the time and an occasional deer hide.
