As ADC said, pack them in the smallest size box possible and mail. 57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Be a bit careful with the tail that it doesn’t get too bent. All shipping options use dimensional weight. That means that packages that are light weight but bulky will pay a higher price than if the empty air is squeezed out. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

Not easy to roll and it turns into more folding. I hate folding as I worry about the creases it creates. Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

That way you are gently folding it with out folding it like a piece of paper. It is not a good idea to crease the leather on pelts like otter and raccoon. Folding pelts like fox and coyote is acceptable. The leather won’t be damaged. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.
