FWIW: Tails can be sold to the folks that make Mepps spinners.

The squirrels that are sold at FH are pine squirrels. Commonly trapped in Canada.

I know pine squirrels are only allowed to be trapped here in Ontario, it's illegal to hunt them, but ive never actually heard of anyone trapping them here. Anyone here trap red squirrels to sell?

Northof50, How much $ do the pelts go for? I’ve got tons of them around me, they don’t seem like they’d be too hard to catch.

To be clear what Wissmiss is calling a pine squirrel is a local name. If you want to look it up it is technically called a red squirrel.

They sure seem to like a meat-based bait in the wintertime, heart, liver, venison hunks.
Same stuff the weasels like, unfortunately so do the flying squirrels.

Moscow Hide and fur will buy your grey ,fox and pine squirrels. I think they need to be taxidermy skinned.

Snares I think work the best

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Wow, that is a part of the culture of growing up here.
