Magus69 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Many years ago I used to sell them to fishing tackle shops that specialise in game fishing,for the tieing of flys. Got to be worth a try. Mike... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancashireunter Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 There are companies that skins and wings etc for fly tieing but the amount they pay is just so small, a couple of pence each maybe ,it just isnt worth drying them. Maybe if you could supply other items such as feathers and tails then market em yourself it might be better but not by much. I would surgest curing a few and giving em away just for the sake of utilizing what you trap, I swap feathers and skins for flies with a few fly tiers. Plumbers sometimes use them when soldering pipes I believe. I keep meaning to attempt making a waistcoat out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmore Fudd Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Slight diversion. Anyone here ever tanned rabbit skins? Or Fox? I read up on it but the chemicals sound a bit nasty to say the least. I know that Oak (bark or chippings?) have been used to tan hides for many centuries. I reckon you could make a really nice gun bag from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NELL Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I remember when foxes were worth skining we used to get the price list sent from mssrs cobbledick (think) mole skins were priced at 5p, bearing in mind that this was probably 30 years ago,taking inflation into concideration they must be worth arround 7 or 8p As mentioned plumbers used to use them for dressing lead joints, should be worth a pint??? the ammount they earn NELL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
