Anybody Buy Beaver Pelts on the Litchfeild or Metro Area?

[TroutYammer]

Gearing up to clean out the drainage dithces and swamps on my flooded farmland this fall. Anybody Buy Beaver Pelts on the Litchfeild or Metro Area? Preferably sell the whole beaver and let them do the skinning. Also, is it even legal to sell a whole beaver?

Only place I've ever dealt with in Minnesota is over near Scandia. Not a problem selling them in the round though. It's not that hard to skin them out,just takes a little time. The buyer will usually just ask for a hunter id# when you drop them off as the warden's check the buyers throughout the year and run the id #'s.

Johnson fur south of Willmar on 71.(can get contact info by googling johnson fur) There is also a gun shop, I believe the name is Trapline outfitters in between hutch and dassel. They have a fur buyer come once a week, or at least they used too. Do not have a phone number for that place, but from hwy 15 head west on the 200th st. for about a mile or so and it is run out of a barn on the south side of the road.
