AF_Tier 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 That's the strange thing--Google didn't turn up nearly that many. Thanks for the leads! Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HereToLearn 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 Yhea no problem. If you have a problem with those, Just post back on here. I have some sites bookmarked that are more fur trader related not so much fly tying. But you can get full skins of almost anything you'd want. Including both polar bear rugs or patches of it on the skin. None of their stuff is dyed though as I imagine you are looking for when it comes to your rabbit skins. Good luck.

Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Hi Frank, Packaging rabbit strip is a real pain in the neck and often suppliers will be willing to sell strips in bulk quantities. If you don't want to go through the process of establishing a business account/meeting minimum ordes with suppliers you might work with your local fly shop to purchase bulk for you. Of course, you can expect to pay for the shop to do so but bulk buying can really save you a bunch of dollars. Take care & ...
