niveker 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2020 Does anyone have any suggestions/advice on sources for a full fox squirrel skin, preferably with the tail. I only have some smaller patches currently, which are starting to look pretty bald. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

niveker 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2020 I appreciate all the suggestions, guys. Unfortunately, most of the supply houses don't sell them with tails, I'm just getting low so I'll hold off for now. . 7 hours ago, flytire said: nothing available at bears den fly shop? moscow for and hide https://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/7420.html Thanks Norm, unfortunately Bears Den is a pretty good hike for me, about 90 minutes one way. . Thanks for the other link, thats more in line of what I was looking for. That looks promising. 5 hours ago, Mark Knapp said: I see some on eBay. Some of them look sketchy though. Yeah, I try to keep my eye on the auctions, but right now there ain't much in the way of fox squirrel. 4 hours ago, Flat Rock native said: Taxidermy shops: scraps, leftovers, failed projects, overruns, or proprietors that shoot well and often. Yeah FRN, there are a few taxi shops around here, but no fox squirrels that I've ever seen. If there were I'd be harvesting my own, haha. I should stop in one anyway, see what I could scrounge up.

James 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2020 I think that you would find full skins minus the tail if you look at Blue Ribbon fly shop in West Yellowstone I had shared with the individual that was looking for fur to tie Humpys. I have not needed any fur or skins in years but this shop has always had the best selection Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
