Squeaky - did you look through the tanned furs section they had some dyed soft tanned rabbit skins

 

[Squeakyboatcaptain]

Yes I did.. I may order some white skins and cut and dye myself... Sometime in the future... Gonna see what comes in the scrap box first.

 

[quivira kid]

Forget the bunny. Fox and coyote!

Order placed hope to get a few of those mask...like I don't have enough fur

WOW!! Placed my order on the 30th and received it today :icon14::icon14: That is a box full of fur. I ordered 2 packs also and received a lot of great tying fur and a lot of small cutoffs that is very good for making dubbing. Already made one box (reg size plastic box) full of 6 different fur - drilled holes in the other side of the box. Made three compartments of each - black bear, beaver (2 shades), coyote, otter and brown tip sheepskin.
I'm a happy camper with the material you get for the money.

boy I´d love to get my hands on an offer like that! Got a scrap fur package once, was worth the money, but nothing close to that.
No way that material would pass through the customs, though, the beaver alone would end me up in jail or worse

Good deal Stump!! I think it was worth every penny! Sorry Bucho... If I could get it through to you... I would!

They do ship internationally, so you might ask them. Beaver is not listed under CITES, so international trade is allowed. As long as the seller can provide the correct paperwork showing legal harvest (which I assume they can if they ship to other countries) I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

I wouldn`t have thought it was a problem to get a bunch of fishing hooks here in less than 6 weeks, as custom-free declared stuff usually makes it in 2-3.
It is, though, and the nice lady from "that rabbit guy" for instance explicitly named beaver as a problem issue with german customs.
Its one thing to know about this CITES-stuff oneself, but to trust your local officials in dealing with it so routinely that you can rely on them to keep your business running is a different story.
Or as an old German saying says:
"He who works a lot - will happen to make a lot of mistakes. He who doesn`t make mistakes - will get promoted..."
