> two sellable

I'm a southerner and we generally have squirrels in plentiful quantities, so it's never occurred to me to sell them. /s

Mepps buys the tails, they make fishing lures from them: https://www.mepps.com/squirrel-tail/

At twelve cents for a half tail or twenty five cents for a full tail, I think I'll stick to just watching them climb trees and bury nuts. Especially since I'm expected to salt, straighten, and dry the tails first.

Yeah, they do sat they only want tails from squirrels harvested primarily for food; they don't expect or want people to hunt squirrels just the sell the tails.
