Maine Skunk Pelt, Prime Northern Skunk, Professionally Soft Tanned
These are wild Maine Skunk pelts. They were sustainably, ethically, and legally harvested by trappers in Maine. The pelts are heavy furred prime pelts. They have been professionally handled and then garment tanned by Moyle & Mink Tannery in Idaho.
These are professionally soft tanned wild Maine Skunk pelts. They are excellent pelts for garments and crafts. They would also be excellent pelts for wall displays and cabin decor. They are not suited for taxidermy. They each are uniquely different. No two pelts are alike. Colorations and size are similar, but vary from pelt to pelt. If you are purchasing more than one pelt for a garment and would like the pelts color matched, please leave us a comment with your order and we will do our best to select similar pelts. If you prefer a wide stripe or a narrow stripe, please comment with your order.
We sell all our pelts by size and grade. Size is measured from tip of nose to tip of tail.
XXL - 30-36"
XL - 27-30"
L/M - under 27"
Our three grades are Extra Select, Premium, and Standard.
Extra Select: We reserve this grade for our absolute best pelts. The quality is exceptional. Since all our pelts are wild pelts, we get very few Extra Select pelts. These are fully primed heavily furred pelts with little to no defects. If there are any holes, they are few and small. The tails and faces are in good condition. For our skunks this grade will have the longest fur length, usually making the white stripes wider on these pelts. This grade will have the whitest stripe of our pelts, but some off white coloration or yellowing of the stripe is possible.
Premium: Since we try to only harvest our wild pelts during the prime season, these are the bulk of the pelts that we receive. Overall, they are exceptional pelts, excellent for garments or wall hangers. They are prime pelts, but not quite good enough that we can call them an Extra Select. That could be due to a hole or defects. Small defects are possible. Holes will be minimal and not easily noticed. Generally, the faces and tails are still good. For our skunks these are still excellent pelts with slightly shorter fur length than the extra select or extra select fur length but mostly off white to yellow stripes.
Standard: We reserve this grade for our semi-heavy pelts or pelts that are harvested slightly past or slightly before prime. The faces or tails may have some damage. There may be more holes that will need to be repaired for garment making. These pelts are good for wall hangers. They also can be good for garments, but will sometimes require more repairs, and the fur quality will be slightly less than our Premium pelts. Overall, they are a terrific value pelt. For our skunks this grade generally has thinner stripes due to the shorter fur length of semi-prime pelts. Stripe color can range from white to off white/yellow.
