Grew up running a trap line in Alaska for marten, mink and otter. That picture sure brings back memories of some good times.

 

Thanks,

You always have nice fox and you put them up well. You always legs out them? Your ringtail are generally found near big rocks?

 

I'll trade you a lower desert kit fox pelt for a ringtail.

Yeah I always have leg out. Thought about doing some with the legs in just to see if there was a difference in price.

 

The ringtails were all caught in big rocky canyons up north here. I'll have to get back to you on the trade. The ringtails are half my nephews so I'll contact him to see if it's alright with him. We have caught 8 ringtails up here. Never new they were up here. Never saw one and we never caught one, even back when we were leg hold trapping.

I haven't caught a ringtail since back in high school. Cool looking pelts with the long banded tail. Yeah let me know on the trade. I have a kit fox pelt saved from last year. Grey on the back and tan on the stomach. Bushier tail than typical fox. I know some areas where I bet there are a mess of them, but man it's a drive for me.

 

Fur market looks to be down 20-30% from last year unfortunately. Buyers are going to try to capitalize on this and take advantage of trappers hard work.

 

Here is the Kit I skinned and still have the pelt.

 

Good luck on the fur and keep at it!

That is cool have never caught a ring tail or a kit on tailgate looks like a super dwarfed yote lol very cool it looks like would be harder to distinguish between juvenile grey and a kit? What do you look at to tell easy? Kits just don't have black stripe down back and tail?

Very nice. What does it mean to "put up" furs? Are they out of the freezer and tanned somehow? I have a few skins in the freezer that I want to turn into something for my infant son. Thanks.

it means fleshed out , stretched and dry ready to sell or tan if you don't want to ran your own there a few places can send and get tanned. If I send off I send to moral mink tannery

Ears are much larger. Even though in my photo of the kit fox looks like has orange on it like a grey fox, it really doesn't. Its fur is grey and tan only. Not much black or orange anywhere. The tails are much bushier.
