Who here has developed a secondary market?
I have a buddy out east the sells skulls. Ive heard of a guy north of me that sells Coon meat legally and another that keeps 50 gallon barrels of carcus and sells to some dog food place.

I've sold some tanned hides and I have a couple people that will buy a few coon, possum, beaver and rats to eat. Some of my beaver and rats go into bait and I eat some of the beaver myself. There's always a market for glands. I keep enough on hand for my needs and sell the rest. I keep all my mink and weasel glands, but I sell most of my skunk essence.

Lots of markets if a guy looks for them don't forget about the Taxi market you get something huge or odd you can get more then the fur market will ever pay. Sold some of our huge skunks for some sweet money in the past.

Now that's a skunk. What do you average for essence on them?

Now that's a skunk. What do average for essence on them? A good size Pepe will often yield 1 3/4 to 2oz of essence here! 2 average pods next to a mega pod!

Wow! I probably average 3/4 of an ounce, so you're getting double what I get per skunk.

Is skunk essence the stank?
How do you milk that without dying?

I remove the pods and syringe it out then put it in a glass bottle NO plastic!
