Default Can anyone legaly buy a skin that's been trapped by a licensed trapper?

Hi guys I'm a fly tier and would like to buy a fox skin and probably other animal skins. Is there somewhere that I can legally buy skins? Or can I just buy from someone who is a licensed trapper?

ONLY provincially licensed people are allowed to buy or sell raw wild furs.

Sale of Pelts and Parts

No pelt of any fur-bearing animal, except one taken according to the regulations listed under Control of Problem Wildlife may be wasted, destroyed or spoiled. No raw skins of fur-bearing animals may be sold to anyone who is not a fur dealer. Anyone in legal possession of a beaver may sell the skinned carcass of the beaver to use as bait or animal food. Except as noted under Exporting, it is unlawful to export from Alberta all, or any part of, the skin or pelt of a fur-bearing animal, without first obtaining an Export Permit.The claws, skulls and teeth of lawfully taken fur-bearing animals may be sold without restriction (note that black bears are not included as they are big game animals). These parts of fur-bearing animals may also be exported without a provincial export permit (note that Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna — CITES permits are required for exporting any part of a wolf, lynx, bobcat or otter across an international boundary).

Sale of Wildlife

Anyone may sell the following:

processed (tanned or otherwise permanently preserved, but not dried, salted or frozen) skins of fur-bearing animals;
black bear skins, provided they have been taken lawfully (black bear claws may only be sold if they remain attached to the whole skin);
the skins of most animals, including skunk and raccoon, for which a licence is not required;
skinned beaver carcasses including the tail; or
the claws, skulls and teeth of lawfully taken fur-bearing animals.

Thanks guys.

WiskeyJack, I'd only want some tanned hides anyway. So by the looks of what you posted that would be fine.

Now I need to find somewhere to buy a tanned fox or 2.

Halford has a Calgary store, as well....although I've never been there.

And, unless I'm mistaken, you don't really want the actually hide, do you ??

Just get a friend/buddy to shoot one....I just threw out a bunch of scraps, mostly bear , though.

Nothing wrong with a person giving you a hide, or a part of a hide. Just ask a few trappers. They can also "give" you a hide.
