It's not unusual in the Way to preserve someone's pelt when they die. You can find them hanging out by themselves, as they aren't owned. If you use a pelt, it's seen as traveling with you.
- It's rude to treat them solely as decoration.
- They're common in places people travel through.
- They're accepted as mementos, not spirits- like passing around an old photo album.
- Most are missing parts, so I'm sure there's a good story attached if you happen by someone that knew the guy.
I thought this would be a fun way to sneak in childhood OCs that will never get remade.

Close-ups of all my farm fo.x pelts to date. There's plenty more colours I'd love to get someday but don't really have space for any more right now.

Decided to showcase my pelts. I’ve already shown my softmount but I thought my pelts deserved some attention.
From left to right we have: Phyllis (arctic fox), Cedar (wolf), Theo (Montana Coyote), and Copper (red fox)

I got a new tail!
Mine is the black/brown fox tail. I also got got @meowing-creature a red fox tail, which is in the last picture.
Im super happy with it and its really big and fluffy. I already had a coyote tail that I got when I was in like elementary school from the renaissance fair, but I really wanted one that was closer to my brown Siamese theriotype.
I got these from Bearmeat's Indian Den in Cherokee, NC. All of their products are produced by indigenous people, and most of it comes from locals. Its one of the few stores around there where you can get authentic Cherokee products. And everything was super high quality.
They had a lot of different kinds of pelts, leather, and other animal products, here's a picture of the full pelts:
To as close as I can remember, from left to right the pelts include: wolf, bobcat, coyote, opossum, raccoon, fox, otter, more fox, and more opossum. Some other ones that aren't in the picture were beaver, and badger. All of the leather pieces are deer leather.
While posting about this I feel as though I should say if you are anti-(ethical)fur, please do not comment on this post or try to argue about it. You're welcome to unfollow me, as I am heavily in favour of real fur use for many reasons.
Again, all of this fur is sourced locally and produced by Cherokee or indigenous people.

Dorm Pelt Wall
Currently home for winter break but I dearly miss my pelt wall waiting for me back at my dorm.
A few pelts I would love to eventually add to my collection one day would be a timber wolf, pine marten, bobcat, mountain lion, river otter, Finn raccoon, fisher, wild arctic cross, reindeer (hide), wolverine, black back jackal, and golden jackal. Now is it likely I'll be able to acquire all these, hell no. But it's a wish list for a reason. Right now I am more focused on finding an affordable mountable pelt for a 1st attempt at taxidermy.

I thought it anyone would appreciate this, it would be you guys. Bought at an auction for 12 bucks. I am so charmed by it because it was made locally and in such nice condition for a vintage fur. Even the clip is adorable. Afraid to wear in public but… I’ll do it anyway. They are so warm!
