I always skin for taxi and get tanned then sell. Usually have a waiting list that want em. Also I often include the cleaned skull and baculum that go with the specific fur for additional $$. Thanks for the tips!

I SUCK at stretching, drying but especially fleshing so I pay a guy locally to do that part for me, taxidermy quality. Then I sell the dried skins to a local fur buyer. I already put a big hole in one this year trying to do it myself. I need to practice on something like a fox, I guess.
I have 3 wolverine frozen with feet, tail and head in, right now. Once I get them sealed at the end of the season I will likely go the same route I have in the past, as it it 100% worth it to me to pay~$60 per critter to have it done right. I am sure I make more than that back when selling, as to compared to what I would get if I did that work myself and jacked it all up.
What do they sell for, roughly, for a good male that has been professionally put up on Taxidermy.net?

The prices vary, a lot! As said above, most taxidermists prefer to do the head and feet themselves. Some want a dorsal cut, others ventricle.
Just doing what I want now.

I know that the ventricle cut is the best! Sorry AV, could not resist harrassing you about your spell check issue! ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) Pete
