Mepps Squirrel Tail Recyling Program
Friday, May 7, 2010 at 1:00AM 
Mepps pays hunters who legally harvest squirrels for the dinner table between $.16 and $.26 per tail, depending on the quality and quantity of the tails. Hunters may also exchange the tails for Mepps lures for a higher return value.
Mepps recycles… but we don't want your old aluminum cans or plastic soda bottles. We do, however, want your squirrel tails. We need them to create hand-tied dressed hooks that do a great job catching fish. We know this for a fact because, here at Mepps, we've been recycling squirrel tails for about a half a century, and we recycle more of them than anyone else. This makes us some kind of recycling pioneer and we're proud of it.
Be advised-
Mepps is only interested in recycling tails taken from squirrels that have been harvested for the table. They do not advocate taking squirrels strictly for their tails......or their cajones. LINK
