I need a quantity of muskrat for our classes. Any dealings with these folks? (Or any other suggestions?)

Sold a lot of fur to them years ago...

What classes and what quantity? Going to a furrier and geting trimmings should yield more fur than a fly-tying group could possibly use...

Good point sitka. I once got a ton of trimmings from all kinds of critters by a taxidermist I knew.

We use perhaps 25 2x2-inch pieces of natural muskrat each year in our Club's Intro & Intermed classes. I guess that a single skin would last three or four years.
I'm willing to pay for tanned- don't want to yuck out a newbie.

The only items our local furrier sells are horseshoes and iron nails.

I believe Ironbender is our local fArrier... or he seems fairrier than most at least! $;\)$

It's not that much.
But we do try to err on the generous side, supplying our classes.

I've had some hides done by them and they do good work for a fair price and quick turnaround.

Here's a link the muskrat page:
