cute little bandit finished up for a client 🐾

striped skunk (baby) - full pelt - F

this cutie is available in the shop or off Etsy for $208 + 🚢, a small repaired tear on her hip but no other damage, absolutely tiny and so adorable, fits in the palm of your hand

gray wolf (AK) - cape pelt - ?

Big beautiful gray wolf head, I’ve had this guy salted for a long time now, I’d tanned the two he came with a while ago and I only just now was able to get to him, i was going to keep him but he’s available for $300 + 🚢, payment plan friendly and open to offers. He is mountable but he has some damage in the form of some holes, nothing unrepairable, his one ear does have a more notable hole from the person who prepped/salted him but it’s fixable.

red fox (western, Utah) - full pelt - M

really nice Rocky Mountain red, it’s hard not to keep him but he’s up in the shop! He has some minor damage but nothing particularly difficult to repair/hide. He’s $157 + 🚢 off Etsy

Red fox (ranched, marble cross) - full pelt - M

just a really fancy absolute tank of a fox. Show stopper of a marble cross, could not help but keep this guy, and can you really blame me…

Hello! I have briefly touched on the subject but I haven’t given it a proper spin as an in depth topic of discussion. It’s something I myself have conflicting opinions on, it’s very much a gray area in my mind. I think morally speaking in a very broad sense it’s no worse to buy a farmed fox direct from a farmer than eating meat from the grocery store. Which…I actually don’t even eat meat because i disagree very strongly with factory farming and I have very strong negative opinions on American cattle ranchers in particular for their extermination of wildlife and harm to the environment but that’s a different topic for another day…in short I do think it’s a complicated topic but I would hate to see fox farms fully eradicated and lose all of those interesting and beautiful “colors” and their history. I do think things should change for many farms in terms of care but keep in mind it’s already a dying practice for better or for worse, there’s very few fox farmers left and we probably won’t have these sorts of foxes around much longer. I think it would take much more effort to preserve fox farming than to eradicate it (speaking only for America)

Gray fox (eastern, NJ) - cape/tail pelt - M

take a look at that tail! Really nice cape and a very resilient fox, he was littered with pellets that didn’t actually kill him and were healed all over his body. The eastern foxes are the best grays around imo, I love a western gray but these guys are just way fluffier and sturdier little animals

arctic fox (AK, wild, brown phase) - full pelt - F

who doesn’t love a marble? This gorgeous fox is so chunky and prime furred it’s crazy, a large beautiful female who already found a home before I could list her 😆
