Squirrel tails?

[CatDaddy]

Anybody know of anywhere that will buy squirrel tails? Or does anybody on here want any?

My cousin from Michigan was telling me about a lure company somewhere that has an ad in one of his magazines for them to use on their lures. I'm gonna shoot him an email and see about it, i'll let ya know more info when i get it.

Send them to MEPPS - Sheldons' , Inc. 626 Center St. Antigo, WI 54409-2496
The bone must be left in and just heavily salt the area where you seperated the tail from the body. Don't remove the bone-they won't accept split tails and you must straighten your tails while drying-they won't use curled tails. store them in the freezer, ship during the cold months(dec,jan, feb, mar), don't put them in plastic bags for storage or shipment, they can heat up and spoil.
Don't ship tails that have been exposed to flys. You must put your name address and tail count inside each package. Shipping is refunded on shipments of 50 tails or more- ship by UPS or First Class only

More than likely, unless you eat alot of squirrel, you won't come up with a whole lot in a season, but if you have a group of friends that all squirrel hunt, hopefully one of you all, has a large deep freezer in the garage or something, everyone donates all their tails to the freezer, don't send them in until the season is over- then take the proceeds and buy something for all of you to enjoy, beer, breakfast before fishing or hunting for everyone in the group, gas money for all of you to travel someplace neww to hunt,etc If you have a large enough freezer try going 2 seasons before you send them in- you get the picture, you definately won't get rich off of it but if you have no use for it it is still better than throwing it away.

I used to hang them on my bike when I was a teenager. Then I started putting them on my car antenna. Now I work for a major mid-western university. I'm afrain the anti-hunters would damage my truck. Then I'd be stalking people.Now I just tease the cats with them. Dry the end where it attaches to the body with salt. Then tie it to a fishing pole. Don't let the cat see the whole set up. Catch 'em sleeping or otherwise distracted and sneak the tail past them. They absolutely freak out.

Also, with Mepps, if you want to trade for lures, the price they give you for the tails is double. I just nail my tails to the rafters in the garage, they completely dry in about a month or so.
