Bru, I guess some guys get pretty upset when you don't sell the fur. I hear of guys getting $40 for a pelt, but down where I live I hear more of $5.00 and $10.00 for good ones. The nearest fur buyer is about 35 miles from me, and with gas at it's current price of $2.55 a gallon, I can't justify travelling to far to sell a pelt. So, I just drag them over to the nearest fencerow and leave them. But, don't get me wrong, I don't hurt their population much. If I was killing 25 or 30 a year, I might consider selling the fur. Around here the property owners are so happy they've been shot nobody says much about leaving them in a fencerow away from the road and out of the fields.
