I see that people are selling and interested in grey squirrel tails, is there also a market for red squirrel tails? You can't cheat the mountain pilgrim. Mountain's got its own ways.

I sold 2 whole frozen beaver for good money to a micro-brewery that wanted to mount them because they were brewing a beaver ale.
