I will be fireforming for a while, I found 200 rds of vintage zipper to fireform... No on the call. I saw him mulling around his den on my walk out of my calling area. I just caught a little motion and had to watch for a few minutes thru the scope before I could locate him. He really blended in with the pasture grass.
A friend who does a lot of fur skinning/selling said he got $210 for two badgers recently(last year I think) and $60 for a coyote last year. I think he sends them to canada or something...

Don't know if you are skinning and keeping the skins, but when I was into coyote calling (in Idaho, VT, and upstate NYS), I always skinned them out and put the skins in a freezer, then sold them just like that to an itinerant fur buyer. Kept me in shells and gas money.... Or you might be able to trade a few raw ones for a tanned pelt. I also sold gamebird skins(with feathers on) to a novelty company and a fly-tying company. "Waste not....."

Funny/irritating thing was that the little yellowish dogs we shot in the wheatfields of the Palouse were worth much more than the big, part-wolf luxuriant-fur ones we got in the Northeast. Because the lighter colored fur took various colored dyes much better! Gotta love the fashionistas!
