andybrock Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Many moons ago I used to skin foxes and send them to RW Cobbledicks in Bude, Cornwall,Just stretch the pelts tight, nail them to a board air dry and then send them in batches of 10 - 15. If my memory serves me well the most I got for 1 pelt was £28 -mostly is was around £5 - £10........happy days Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybrock Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 The pelt I got my best price for was actually a road kill fox I found while on holiday in the Highlands, he was a huge fox very red and had a huge main almost like a lion's! I'm a little embarrassed to admit in those days (late 1970's) I used to use a .222 with solids for less damage. Is there still a fur trade of any sorts in this country? I noticed a lad on the bay selling Jay wings a few months ago for fly fishing which made me smile, no doubt he got some abuse off the anti tossers! Them where the days, wet acid batteries, car spot lamps, bulbs that would blow with the slightest knock, melting wires Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
