But here is the page and read through it.

depending on how you are caping them, some of the taxidermists may buy some for displays.

Give me a call or PM and I can point you in the right direction.

FYI, yotes with big holes shot in the side of them are worth nothing to a taxidermist.

I send mine off to Moyles in ID to have them tanned but will be sending them to auction in the future as I have quite a stockpile of tanned furres now. Here's 4 from last week.

We skin them as soon as possible, it is alot easier when they are still warm. I let them cool a little as the fat scraps easier then.
