There is absolutely no damn reason that someone should not sell green pelts. Here in Iowa 99.9% of hunters and trappers sell their furs green. 99% of those guys are definitely not slob hunters and could very well be better and more ethical than you. It's not like the furs are sitting and rotting out in the field.

That's all good and fine, Lance (yeah, I read Louis L'Amour too), but here no one will buy them. Never in my life have a sold a green hide.
In cold country, it might be the way it's done, but you still won't get top dollar. Real fur buyers want to be able to see the quality of the fur (like how thick, and how deep it is). It's pretty hard to do with a folded up and frozen hide.
Do it your way though, and I'll keep doing it mine. No need to get in a huff.
