How much would it fetch as a dried pelt sold at auction? $30 maybe
How much would you pay to buy a tanned hide? $150-200 would be my guess.

I got $28 for one larger red fox pelt last year. Smaller ones go for much less these days.

They real are nice once they are tanned. Pity a trapper does not get more for a dried pelt.

Have taken 3 bobcats in the space of 42 years , Id say they arent plentiful ..lol . First was made into rug and still hangs on the wall , second went to auction in mid eighties $200 if I recall correctly . Last one is full mount on the wall . I was sending my furs to FHA at the time and the local depot had 2 others go to sale the same week this one would have . After the sale the depot owner said the cats went for over $700 each .
