Any that I know. With the fur prices what they are the skull and castors are worth as much or more than the fur Quote "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Bobcats are taken here but I'd bet most that are are held because they aren't overly common. If I got in a area where trapping them was legal I'd get a wall hanger done.

SilentStalker 70 Posted January 13 Sent my completed packet out yesterday. Will advise when i receive my certificate. That's assuming i passed!
