Groundhog/Woodchuck
Does anyone have any woodchuck (groundhog in the South) they would be willing to trade? I would like to get a piece that's about 6x6 inches if possible. If you are interested let me know what you would want in terms of a swap. I have found one store that has it but the patch looked very small to me.
Thank you,
Greg

Greg,
Let me check in my supplies. I seem to remember buying an entire hide a while back. I'll check this afternoon and let you know. If I have it, it's yours.

Thank you Eric, I appreciate the link to hide and fur (I had forgotten all about them). And thank you James for the offer; I'm sure I've got something I can swap for it.

Greg,
My apologies. In looking through my supplies, I find that it was a badger pelt that I purchased not a woodchuck. You're more than welcome to a patch of that pelt if you'd like. The coloration is different than Woodchuck, but it is a nice fur to work with and can be used in a number of patterns. Just let me know what yu decide.

Hi Greg,
Coffins creek furs is another option for buying a skin. I bought mine from them years ago. Here's a link.

James,
Thanks again for the offer. I think I will pursue the woodchuck offered at flytyingfurs; they have a grade 2 at an attractive price. I am going to be using this to make some of Fran Better's Gray Wulff flies and he uses woodchuck for the tail.
Thank you Mark for the link; I appreciate it.
