Trappeur Gunny trapper T Joined: Feb 2023 Posts: 203 South Louisiana	In Louisiana we can sell meat of furbearers caught during season. I have a market for coons and possums. Nutria meat is a hot item if you find the right market. My neighbors will fight over beavers as they think its better than deer. I had a guy call me last week asking about buying bobcats as he loves them grilled. I have a couple of land owners who gave me permission to trap anything I want on their property because last year when I started back up I gave them some beaver, nutria, bobcat, etc fully processed and in vacuum sealed bags.

When I trapped in LA, sold every coon/possum could not give the beaver or nutria away. I said take one and try it...no way.

South Louisiana I have people who will eat everyone they get their hands on. The same for bobcat and beaver, it depends on where you are. I have a guy in north Louisiana who will buy every bobcat carcass I can get to him, down here in south Louisiana where I'm at you can't give bobcat away. Where I trap in Mississippi all they want is coons and possums.

But the selling of meat is administered through the Oregon Dept of Agriculture. I have checked it all out and what it boils down to is we can sell carcasses without indicating any particular use for them (could be fertilizer right?) but we can not sell them as human or pet fare or do any butchering of the meat. Any butchering would need to be in a USDA inspected facility. And that ain't gonna happen. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

We can't sell game animal meat, but furbearers are furbearers, not game animals, so I could sell them. Never bothered to look for a market though. If you find a market make sure to leave one foot on the animal. It gives the buyer knowledge of what they are buying. Down here if you don't have a foot, no body will buy it as they think you are trying to pass off a cat, dog or whatever.

It just became to much work. I gave my contacts to a friend. I think he's still selling them. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat
