Do any of you guys skin and sell your skunks? I caught one and skinned it, then froze the pelt. Wasn't sure how much they sell for and if they're worth much. Any advice is welcomed. thanks.

I skin everything I dispatch, I can't see wasting a valuable resource and skunk fur is actually very silky and I feel we owe it to them put them up with care. You'll do much better selling your skunks at a local fur sale then sending them up north to the big auctions because they are more of a specialty item. I averaged more for my skunks last year than my 'coon and they are just as easy to put up.

I love trapping skunks! Its easy to catch em, you can collect the essence, the fur is purtty, you have virtually no competition, you can catch them ANYWHERE, and as wayne said, they are easy to put up. Also, as wayne pointed out, anything that is dispatched is used in my world. Best way to respect the animal is to put it to use IMHO.
GOD I CANT WAIT TO SET SOME TRAPS!!! DARN THIS RESPONSIBILITY THING!!!!!

Im glad I skinned it out. It's actually a very nice fur once the smell is gone.
