Anybody able to locate a decent winter fox tail.
Will trade for some deer fur if available.

Barry that is an interesting item. Too good to cut up, and a bit warm for a neck warmer for your area.
Might come in handy when you venture down South

Arctic fox is the best and much longer and finer than any fox tail you will get your hands on. I may have a full fox tail hanging around somewhere if I can find it. Also you will find Mink is excellent too if you can find it

John next time I come down to that cold ,cold place called Brisbane I may bring it.
How about some Polar Bear Fur,Wolverine and Qiveut.
What would be your pick from them Roger?

Qiveut is recognised as the Lightest,warmest and most expensive readily available fur on Earth.
Wolverine and Polar Bear are in the catergory of very few furs in that they rarely freeze.

Screamingreel,
have you been able to locate a fox skin/tail if not send me a PM with your address I have one that died of natural causes, bullets cause them to die, naturally. It is a winter fox from Cowra NSW.

Captain Cranky if you still have that Arctic fox tail available and want to part with it I'd take it off you hands. Geez how'd you get you hands on some polar bear hair as well that'll be rare as hen's teeth bar in an Inuit's bed. If you are keen on the fox PM me and we could work something out. Cheers Pat.
