Last one for a while. This little beauty had been sitting on eBay for quite some time. I really didn't want to get another red fox, for fear of somehow replacing Chance. But this guy really feels like a good boy to me. I'll go more into detail about him when he arrives.

I did not kill this fox. He was a wild animal that was culled for population control and skinned to make use of his fur. However, he was not deemed worthy for the "high quality" fashion items many foxes are made into, and therefore sold as scrap parts. Instead of being cut up or worn, he will be hung in a small, personal, natural history collection where he will be admired and respected.

Oooh, nice! I can never find a good pelt on eBay in my price range (and also that isn't from China).

Oh yeah, I've had a few bad experiences with eBay myself @_@. It's not as glamorous as it seems. Sometimes you can find really good stuff for great deals, but half the sellers don't know their laws or keep animal tags. And on occasion, you can get a bad pelt. I've never really seen any Chinese sellers for fur though I tend to avoid international sellers as far as fur goes.

I saw a couple nice fox stoles, but they all had terrible faces. And one had a biiig ugly monogram plate in its throat. I looked up "fox pelt" tonight and had to switch my settings to 'nearest to you' because all I was getting was China, and what concerned me was that they were all missing heads and feet, which often means "lol just kidding, this is someone's dog." I do plan on sticking with Glacier Wear or HideandFur.com, though. And my room mate's boyfriend, as he will be getting a trapping license and learning from a friend soon, and also, because coyotes are open season 24/7 in PA. xD
