I hadn't thought of that. Bear guides were just getting started the last couple of years that I trapped. So there was no market for the carcass.
Having a market for the carcass would be a strong incentive for sure.
I would still skin the critter in the field but carrying the carcass home does make a lot of sense. I just prefer to keep the hide as clean as possible and that is much easier with just a hide as opposed to a whole animal.
