Every older man I know tells me the Queen takes her cut and has many stories why they couldn't just "take their skins to Canada." Does anyone know the facts? (yes I understand this site (snopes) is generally suspect among smart people....but just wondering) https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fur-the-queen/

I remember when British Columbia had a royalty on raw fur, I think it was called a "Crown Royalty". I remember looking at the schedule probably back in the early 70's, the only item I remember was the tax on muskrat was 10 cents a skin. I'm sure some B.C. guys on here can correct me if I'm miss-remembering something.

Royalties on fur in Ontario go into the general purpose account(along with fines related to wildlife,licences etc) which helps pay for wildlife programs.Much of it goes back to the licencing and education of trappers in Ontario administered by our provincial trapping organization,the largest in North America,with around 7000 members.The contract to administer the fur program for the province is separate from the membership fund.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

(yes I understand this site (snopes) is generally suspect among smart people....but just wondering) https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fur-the-queen/I started to ship fur to the Ontario Trapper's Association Auction in North Bay in 1977. As a United States Citizen, I was exempt from ANY royalty tax that Canadians had to pay. To My Knowledge, I have never payed a direct royalty to ship and sell fur with the OTA, FHA, or NAFA. On the other hand, sales commissions are another story. w

Pete Pete you are a little tippsy because you added a "it" in Royality......and yes that little purple sac still comes along. The Gold sacs come with Crown Royal Northern Harvest which is far superior so you have to add one to your collection. It's a tradition if your walleye fishing on Lake Winnipeg and you catch a 28 Greenback incher an you can see the steam plume from the distillery in Gimili that you Christian it with a swig of CC. Much like kissing the cod in New Foundland ceremony.
