Beaver Pelts

the fur market for beaver is very bad. but the market for scraped and hooped beaver is very good. kind of like comparing a dead roadkill on carcass with tanned dressed and sewn into a hat value. raw on carcass big beavers are worth about $4-6. hooped dressed beavers with feet and tails minimum of $100 up to many hundreds. your best bet would be buy a raw hide, scrape and have tanned, skin out feet and tail and then lace onto a willow hoop. better yet buy some $25 traps, buy the trappers license, set your own traps and run them till you get a nice big one, then skin yourself. not being smart, just explaining why being on a budget will probably not get you what you are looking for. trapping is not just time consuming, but a lot of work and expense. do not forget to buy the hip boots and misc gear needed. if you can hold off till the seasons open I can do the catching and skinning with tail and feet left on and sell raw frozen in the $35 range ,plus shipping.

I started trapping beaver this morning and at this point in time only do it on my property, so I am looking for somebody in Michigan who will take the beaver I trap. I am flexible, but not going to spend much money to give beaver away. So if anybody in Central Michigan wants them contact me.

 

I have two frozen whole beaver I can ship. $15 each per beaver plus shipping.

 

Jerred I am sorry, but I am not looking for beaver I am trying to give away the beaver I trap. So I am definitely not looking to pay for beaver.
Sorry for any miunderstanding.
