Mepps Buys Squirrel Tails

[arcticap]

The Mepps fishing lure company buys squirrel tails (and a limited number of whitetail deer tails too!) to make their lures. You can sell your tails for cash or get double their value when exchanged for Mepps lures. Read all of the details (deer tail info. is at the bottom of the page): :front:

25 cents they pay for a deer tail..they cost me about $5.00 for fly tying. I always forget to keep them..forgot one last wk. matter of fact.
I used to help my dad make mepps type spinners using squirrel tails...bout 40yrs. ago.

Almost enough to pay for the shipping? :hmm:

Most people would probably have to save them over a long period of time. The ad mentions "shipping refunded" for 50 squirrel tails.

Lots of road kill greys go to waste, a pair of snippers and a plastic bag in your car/truck and you're in bussiness (might get some strange looks though....). Counted over 50 dead greys on my way home from beach striper fishing last fall.

You think you get strange looks doing that, what do you think you'd get if your buddy hit a big grey and then hung a U turn to pick the thing up? Trust me on this one, WEIRD looks. He nailed this beast grey one day, leaving the woods from skwerl hunting actually, without limits. He says to me "you want it?". We stopped, he tasted great! Just seemed to be a waste to leave him there when we were going to be skinning them anyway.
