Beaver hide

(1/6) > >>

Russ:
So, I was working last Saturday at my local hunting/fishing store and i saw one of my older friends that i hunt and fish with with a load of beaver traps in his bag. we talked to the side for a little bit and i asked what he was doing with the traps. He said that he was going to trap beavers off his land that were destroying his property. I asked what he was planning on doing with the beavers and he said he was just trying to get them off his land. then he said that he would give me the beavers if i was OK with it! i took up his offer and now i'm going to have some beavers to skin and (if their still pretty fresh) cook! I was wondering what you guys would do with beaver! i know that they can fetch a decent price depending on the quality and i am trying to save up for collage and stuff like that. he has a ton of them on his land so i bet i could keep and sell if i wanted. What would you make out of beaver hide. I know teeth can go on jewelry and tails can be for handles, sheaths and other cool stuff. I don't want to waste.

I had beaver backstrap for the first time a few weeks ago, it was ridiculously good.

If you're looking to make money I'd probably tan them and make stuff out of them like gloves and sell them on a site like Etsy.

On a side note, you might want to check you states regs. Here in Alabama you don't have to buy a licence, unless it's commercial. IE Any money's made from it. You don't want to get either of you in trouble...

Russ:
Thats a good point. you might need a licence to sell here.

dylanholderman:
Look up your state DNR it should be pretty easy to find out online.
Here in Ohio a fur taker permit is $15

Russ:
I dont think i need a permit because hes harvesting them as a nuisance and it says i don't need a trapping permit because i'm under 19
