Lay them out flat on a piece of cardboard in the freezer and freeze them whole.
They pack easier when they are flat. Pack them up inside a plastic bag after they are frozen and save them until you can fill a Large Flat Rate Box.
This is usually between 15 and 20 tails.
Put they on the "Trap Shed" on Trapperman.com or ITRAPNY "Classifieds" and price them at $2.00 or $3.00 dollars each and they will sell almost immediately.
Insist the Buyer pay shipping which is now $16.85 for a Large Flat Rate Box.
Selling the Tails is Good way to completely utilize the beaver and make some extra cash. You can also sell the skulls, Oil sack glands, and castor as well,
so there Really is a lot of saleable products from a Beaver besides the Pelt.
Some Trappers also sell the beaver meat as well although I have not yet found a market for that.

Cut them off right where the fur ends and put them in the freezer laying FLAT on cardboard. They mostly make leather wallets from them or other craft items. I also suspect that in States with Beaver Bounties, they buy tails from out of state, and then turn them in Locally for a Bounty. This is probably the biggest reason that Beaver Bounties, Or Bounty for any Fur species, Don't work, as someone will always try and cheat the system. w
