Well, considering that you can hunt yote, I don't see them requiring a trapping license to be in posession of any part of them.
This is interesting-- I have been looking for a good book on tanning and/or taxidermy, but haven't come across one.
No problem, I can make the drive. Thanks.
http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/regulations/plain_language/hunting_trapping.htmPELT TAGGING AND SALE OF PELTS:
(a) all beaver, bobcat, coyote, fisher, fox (red and gray), wild mink, and river otter taken or salvaged must be brought to an official check station and tagged with a locking seal before the pelts can be sold, exchanged, retained by the trapper or hunter, or otherwise disposed of. Seals must remain attached to the pelt until the pelt is dressed or tanned or prepared for mounting by a taxidermist or otherwise disposed of. Seals are not transferable.
(b) no pelts of beaver, bobcat, coyote, fisher, fox, gray wolf, lynx, marten, wild mink, or river otter, regardless of state of origin, may be sold in Massachusetts unless tagged or sealed by the state of origin, or another state which has been authorized to do so.
(c) all beaver, coyote, fisher, fox, mink, and river otter must be presented at the check station no later than 4 working days (Monday-Friday, except legal holidays) after the close of the season for the species being checked.
Hey guys, I'd like to learn how to process pelts, anyone have any raw pelts that they have no need of?
Doesn't have to be 'yote, I just figured they would be easiest to get.
