I'm checking out regs here in Oregon right now but I'm curious how other states handle this.... In Oregon my furbearer trapping license allows me to sell any part of the critter I trap, but the sale of meat is regulated by our state dept of Ag. The Oregon dept of Ag allows for licensing and inspection exemptions for on-farm sale of less than 1000 poultry or rabbits. My question to them is: do beaver and nutria also warrant that exemption? The verdict still being out.

So what rules does your state have?

In Wyoming you can sell non game meat directly to the consumer. No middle man and not prepared.

In Georgia, can only sell the fur, hide, or pelts of furbearers. Can't legally sell the meat or glands of coon, possums, foxes, or bobcats as these 4 critters are designated as furbearers AND game animals. It's is illegal in Ga to sell the meat or parts of any game animal (except deer antlers & hides, and squirrel tails)...with no exception made for these 4 .

In Idaho you can't sell wild game or furbearer meat.

A small extract of Alabama Code Title 9. Conservation and Natural Resources § 9-11-237 says

"The licensed catcher of fur-bearing animals may sell or offer for sale for food the dressed carcass of edible fur-bearing animals named by law or regulations."

In Alaska beaver are commonly sold mostly for dog food (usually sled dogs), bear bait and some for human consumption. People might also sell or give lynx meat and I've heard of muskrat carcasses being sought by falconers. No red tape.

I reached out to the Oregon Dept of Ag Food safety meat program specialist to see what requirements they may have. I'll keep you posted.

Well it is Oregon, so that means it is probably heavily regulated. And if it isn't, then you probably can't do it until they do regulate it to death. grin

I don’t think any part of a game animal can be sold in NC. Deer hides can’t be sold. Not sure about a non game species, but doubt it.

We cant sell game animals or their parts, however if trapping what was classified as a game animal is now classified as a furbearer and you can sell their parts. Except for fox, fox are never classified as a furbearer their a game animal but can be trapped under special law. I had a meat market, for for human consumption, for all trappable animals except fox. Shipping can be a big pain.

I think turtle is the only game meat we can legally sell for human consumption.

No selling of wild game meat or certain parts here in Maine But, if you farm raise deer etc.. it is perfectly legal to sell.

I don’t sell wild game, but I have had donations put in a can for coons and possums before. Technically it’s not selling, I don’t think. Just drive to a certain part of town while fresh and they empty the hitch haul for me. Win/win situation. Found out one particular guy was using the possums for “bartering” with the lady folks, lol. $ for me and a good night for him, lol.

We have the same rule here in Oregon but the jurisdiction for the selling of meat goes to the Oregon Dept of Agriculture. That even includes as pet food.

You can sell furbearing animals for food!
Game animals can't be sold for food.
Ohio laws .
Raccoon is the only game/fur bearer we can legally sell for food.
Used to sell to a wild game dinner years ago.
Coyote was a big ticket item ,beaver, muskrat, coon , and skunk, oppusm , never sold mink or fox but gave a few to a couple hunters that wanted to try it, 40+ years ago.
Turtle is the only reptile I know of that can be sold for food. FROM THE WILD.
