Moscow hide and fur. They buy everything. www.furbuyer.comLists what MHF is currently buying and what they are paying. I doubt they buy uncleaned bones. Shipping raw items, even if frozen, can get nasty in warm weather. Coon bones are very easy to clean, especially if you process a large quantity at one time. Correction - I just checked their web site. They do buy uncleaned coon bones - 35 cents each. A premium is paid by some places for broken or deformed coon bones.

If it helps, Dead Coyote keeps the raw ones in a coffee cup on the dash of his truck. He chews on them and "cleans" them between sets. A guy needs to make every second count on the line.
I have nothing clever to put here.

The price is .25 to .35 per bone.
.025 is less than 3 cents each. 2 for a nickel actually.....

I have seen a woman wearing them as earrings. Used the full bone with a hook on the straight end for her pierced ears.

Yep there is a market for a lot of the parts I sell the pecked bones, skulls and teeth
All of my beetles died a month or so ago ( sprayed some fly killer nearby, think it must have got to them) not sure if I'll get more or just start selling everything raw. Less money but less work too
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

They look like a good shower curtain holder .....

This is very interesting. Can anyone give any tips on cutting the claws off animals or extracting the teeth properly for selling to these people? I certainly wouldn't be against an extra $100.
Speak softly, and carry a big stick.
