Do a search for Mepps. They will buy tails or trade for lures.
Or just call them at 715-623-2382 I'm sure they can give you the straight skinny on tails.
Their In Antigo WI.

I don't think so. Me and the grand sons had 80 Pine squirrels caught In July and august ( Alaska) I called Mepps and It was a no go. But make the call to see for sure.

I'm new to trapping in general so I have a question on squirrel tails. I see that people are selling and interested in grey squirrel tails, is there also a market for red squirrel tails?

Are you talking fox squirrels or those small pine squirrels?
The other thing you have to check out. Is It legal to sell animal parts.

If only there was a market for muskrat tails... You could develop a market. Stretch and dry a bunch. Then put on your thinking cap and figure out what to do with them. There is a market for beaver tails, why not muskrat tails. Go to web sites like Etsy and other crafting web sites to give you ideas of where to start. Good Luck.

Smoke em and peel them and eat them like jerky or meat sticks. I'm sure they would be just as good as beaver tail. LOL
