Why are red squirrels considered fur bearing animals and therefore classed differently than greys? Does anyone actually skin and sell red squirrel pelts? If so, how much are they worth?

 

[Patty]

I think they are about $2 or so...

Many times they are incidental catches in marten sets. Many trappers skin then because it is their hobby and in reality, if it is marketable, you should.

just use the squirrels as marten bait. if you get rid of the squirrel population your hurting your chances of getting a marten

FYI, you can be charge for wasting fur if you do not utilize the fur.

Red squirrels are native to Manitoba, Greys are not.
