Selling dressed fur

[Thunder Elk Hunter]

Has any got a buyer in Alberta for dressed fur?

Dressed fur ?

Do you mean tanned ?

Haleford buys raw pelts. Streached and dried that is, they might buy tanned hides as well, but I can't say if they do or not.

Since tanned hides can be sold to anyone, you could talk to some craft stores, you might find one that will buy what you have.

Dressed is streached and dried.
Does Halford by pelts?
Is there anyone else?

I have heard that Halford does buy raw fur, but I can't confirm that. There used to be a another place in Edmonton that did buy raw fur. They called themselves ****kers but I wouldn't recommend them.
There also are also a number of travelling buyers and you might find a local buyer in one of the smaller towns, but I can't help you with either of those.
The Alberta Trappers Association should be able to tell you how to contact a travelling buyer or a local buyer.

I ship all my fur to NAFA. After all, that is where all the local buyers sell the fur they buy. I have never had any reason to be unhappy with them.

BTW, the reason I asked what you meant is because dressed is not a term I hear associated with fur. I learned to refer to untanned hides as raw fur and tanned hides as tanned hides.
The only time I've heard dressed used in relation to fur, it was by European writers and referred to tanned hides.
