Your right, my bad. It was the 70's when I used to send them in lol

Ya I one of those 401k things also a 401 roth, roth IRA and IRA. Only trouble is the doc told me I cant go back to work its not safe. So they wont be geting the contributions like they were. Should still grow but it cut my projections down drastically.

So squirrel tails is the new plan;) I more likely to be in he hole considering I don't shoot very well any more when my tremors start, eyes and ears also have some issues. So I wont have many limit out days will have more missing so will take a lot more trips to get 50 tails= more fuel, and ammo cost. The minimum to get shipping price reimbursement.

Still I had always heard about selling tails and never done so. So sometime I may keep some to send in and trade out for a lure or two. Probably cheaper to buy them than pay shipping on tails if you don't send enough for them to pay shipping but I think I would like a few lures paid for by squirrel tails just becuse.

What can I say im easy to please.

Here you can find 50 squirrel tails easy with no shooting, just pick them off the road, lol

I’ve sold many, many, thousands of squirrel tails.
About every fur buyer deals in them in the Midwest.
Been getting 85 cents to a dollar apiece the last few years.
Bone in and frozen. No grade. Just count them.
If you’re a die hard squirrel hunter it adds up.

25 cents!!!
I hate to kill our yard squirrels and I dont spose they would have balance without a tail.

Im not hard core squirrel hunter but I do greatly enjoy it. If I liked eating them more I would shoot more. As it it the kids shoot more than I want to eat and I use that for the excuse as to why I kill so few. Not that its just hard to find them when you can hear and vission is having issues. Or that I am slow to get in target and have a slight shak to my hands/arms sometimes. Nope its not that I suck at it its becuse i dont want to shoot more than I want to eat. Ya thats it.
Geting close to a dollar would make it worth saving the tails. Its not any more work and keeps it from going in the trash.
A ton less work then skinning and fleshing coon.

I always keep mine salted and in the freezer till I have the bonus amount! Used to be 100 tails.
