Coyotes Bounty

We are currently working with the DWR on having someone onsite to bounty coyotes. We will update when more information is available.

Tagging Bobcats

In the past with the Fur Sale occurring in February, the DWR has tagged bobcats at the Fur Sale. Unfortunately, with the Sale being moved to March, this will not be possible. All bobcats must be permanently tagged prior to the Sale.

Selling Skulls

We will again be accepting skulls and other craft items. However, the skulls need to be in a plastic container and frozen. The buyers want them this way. 

Here is a photo of how to prepare your skulls for the sale->
