You’ve got options that way.
Join WSTA. Attend some workshops , they have fur handling demos. Come to the WSTA fursale in March at Thurston fair grounds. Don’t know if there will be fur handling demos, but you will be able to examine put up pelts, and talk to furbuyers to see what they look for in well handled fur.
Lotsa help out there, you just have to show up and ask.

Selling fur right now is like trading a five dollar bill for a one dollar bill.

  It's not hard to learn to put up your own fur.  With youtube and a couple demos at one of our workshops/sales etc, you'll crack the code.  I rarely buy green fur from someone that I'm not familiar with, because I can't tell how it was handled.  Something as simple as skinning out then freezing a beaver hide while wet will ensure it slips.  There's plenty of folks in the Trapper assoc glad to show you how.  Where you out of?

You just missed  :bash:  the winter workshop this is one place for sure you would of learned how to put up your fur.

Come up to the winter and summer Rendezvous  :tup: these are two other places you can learn.
The winter rendezvous is also our Fur Sale. Come to it and see fur put up and talk with the trappers  :tup: and "Fur Buyers"  :tup: all of them can help you.

If I was wanting to sell some fur now I would find out if you can sell hooped beaver and other furs to hang in trophy rooms and then advertise it on this forum. It's only $50 per year to advertise unlimited numbers of items on the forum. @Humptulips might know the laws regarding selling your own fur legally to individuals for their trophy rooms?

I've bought a few furs myself to hang in my trophy room that weren't available to me otherwise. Just a thought!

Legally there is nothing preventing you from buying or selling tanned furs. Raw furs, if you are buying them for resale in the raw state then you have to have a fur dealers license. You can buy raw furs for your own use or to have something made out of them and even resale after they have been tanned or made into something without a dealers license.
