2nd fox

[Maverick]

Yep

I called this one in for my brother and he got it with a shotgun. It's in the freezer and he doesn't seem want to do anything with it. Is it legal for me to sell them or do I need a permit? Does anyone want to buy it? Feel free to pm me. It's a female by the way.

[Huntboy]

Sweet.

[jager]

Damn... Thats pretty!! lots of black in that one! 

[Kain]

Yes you can sell it.  No permit required.  Congrats.

  you might have to go to the dentist for it

NICE, someone needs to buy that from you and make a full body mount!

o.k I was going to wait on this but you guys best make sure you know all the laws of the game dept. when it comes to selling - buying or mounting anything !!! Last year I killed a cougar they come to me and say Mr. bowhunter we know you killed it with hounds - where is the collar - where is the gutpile on and on ...and at the end of this conversion they ask me one more question ( so who is mounting this cougar ? ) I say I am ..they say really thought you would take it somewhere to have it done ...I say I can do it myself ....So they can not bust me for my cougar which was taken legally So 11 months later I get a ticket for over $ 1000.00 bucks !! yeah how frickin sweet is that ? So all i am saying please watch what you say on here because believe me they could careless about any of us .. and I know I just went out on a limb on this but I could give a rats a$$ because I seriously have no use for them  And this particular warden who has harassed me 6 years should not be serving the hunting community at all ... AND I seriously hope they are reading this sheet because I will be seeing them in court again on the 29th... Now how exciting is that  all the ticket reads ( illegally engaging in wildlife activity) TAXIDERMY WTH ??

It's perfectly legal to live trap a fox or shoot a fox and sell said fox to anyone else, heck we've been doing it for years and years, nothing illegal about it.  I've sold hundreds of furs in this and other states.  The one thing you can't do is sell furs or animals taken with banned traps in the raw.  But there is nothing wrong with legally harvesting a fox, which has an open season here in WA and selling it to the highest bidder.  All they need to do is have a note from you with all the particulars including your hunting lic # and they can have it mounted or tanned.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Yeah i know but I also thought I did not need a license to mount my own animals or do it as a hobby

Huh? I dont get it?? 

Anyway - sweet fox man, I love the color! 

Not to jack the thread but.... I was thinking how I'd like to setup a cage trap at this private property where the owner is having her animals eaten by coyotes and pretty sure cats too. Seems like I have taken at least 8 coyotes out of there in the last year or so and they just keep a coming. I'd love to get a cat out there too. But - I just assumed I need a trappers license or something?  I'm pretty new to hunting all together, just about 2yrs or so now, so still learning the rules and they are a bit confusing to me. I guess I could research it myself but its alot easier to ask people already in the know!

Yes you will need to get a trappers license if you want to trap cats.  The owner could kill the cats but would have to turn them over to the state so you are better off taking the class and getting the license or finding a licensed trapper to help you out.

Legal Status

Washington: Bobcats are classified as game animals and an open season and a hunting license are required to hunt them (WAC 232-12-007). A property owner or the owner’s immediate family, employee, or tenant may kill a bobcat on that property if it is damaging domestic animals (RCW 77.36.030). No permit is required.

The killing of a bobcat in self-defense, or defense of another, should be reasonable and justified. A person taking such action must have reasonable belief that the bobcat poses a threat of serious physical harm, that this harm is imminent, and the action is the only reasonable available means to prevent that harm.

The body of any bobcat, whether taken under the direct authority of RCW 77.36.030, or for the protection of a person, remains the property of the state and must be turned over to the Department of Fish and Wildlife immediately.

See “Lynx” for legal status.

That is interesting.  I am about 99% positive you can do Taxidermy on your own animals and anyone elses animal and you do not need a permit.  The stipulation is, is that you can't recieve any money from the owner of the animal.  Not even for supplies.

I will take the time later to pull up the WAC if bigtex doesn't beat me to it.

Maybe something was changed and I am not aware of it.

Machias,

Don't trappers need a Fur Dealers license to sell fur bearing animals?  What is the difference between the Fur Dealers License and the Trappers License?  Other than the trappers license allowing the trapping??
