FUR FACTS 213 



The Ringtail is very suspicious and is rather a hard animal to 

 trap. For this reason most trappers prefer to use a scent bait to 

 attract them to the trap. In general the same trapping rules as 

 given for mink will apply to ringtail. 



In stretching and preparing ringtail for market the skin should 

 be taken off cased and stretched with the pelt side out. The tail 

 bone should always be carefully removed, as the tail is a valuable 

 part of the ringtail pelt, and if the bone is left in, is very apt to taint.
