Posted By: willecoyote Buyer for skulls? - 12/22/16
My son is trapping again this season and has several skulls from this and previous seasons in the freezer. Does anyone know of a buyer? Fur prices being what they are, he's just looking for a little more return for his effort.
Thanks in advance

Probably state dependent, but there can be issues with selling wildlife parts. Might pay to check you local regs.

Learn to clean/whiten and sell on ebay/craiglist.

Take it a step further and get d. beetles and take in other skulls for a nice profit.

THIS! I wish I knew of a place I could (reasonably) get skulls cleaned like this.

In Deep South Texas, all you have to do is hang them from a limb out of the reach of coyotes and the fire ants will clean them, quite nicely.

Unfortunately, I don't live in Deep South Texas...

I checked with a local Conservation Officer last year and she said selling skulls in VA was ok.
We've thought about the beetles but fur handling and beetles don't go well together in the same building, plus we have enough projects/hobbies. It would work best for him to just sell them.

Skulls Unlimited used to buy them, didn't pay much if I remember right but you didn't have to clean them.

Thanks Hank, We'll try to contact them after the holidays.
