I'd also suggest you check any local shops where they make fur garments. They often throw away in an hour enough scraps to supply you for a lifetime.

Based on this line, "from the usa" ... I am assuming you're NOT "from the USA".

 

Very few people will take a chance on exporting animal hides ... even legal ones. But you might get lucky.

Oops ... posted at the same time.

 

 

UK is pretty big on fly fishing, from what I hear ... I am surprised you don't have access to most tying materials.

Am in the uk yes fly fishing is big but some of the materials are poor quality I am always looking to expand my tying materials ,I wasn't expecting anyone to send a full pelt just offcuts difficult to get some materials here and the price is robbery for what you get .

Birds are relatively easy to find in UK but you'll need to cure your own.

Furs a completely different kettle of fish. Mole is easy to source, again you'll probably need to cure your own. Fox is often available if you can find an estate or farmer who shoots.
