With fur prices down. What can i do with the hides. Love to trap but do not like wasting furs.

Carl,

Fur prices are very low!  Trappers won’t likely remove as many predators this fall and in some areas the predator/prey balance will shift toward predators.  I will trap and give the tanned pelts away as gifts and/or have some garments or blankets made for Mrs. Tracy!

Some folks are vacuum sealing and freezing the furs until the market recovers.

Enjoy creation,
