I don't think they are protected. In fact they are considered a pest
in most areas here because they go after tree seedlings. But then so
does Buckey, as the Ponderosa seedlings on my place in Dayton attest.
I am not the best source on the tying Q's as some can affirm :-)

Its kind of a cross between muskrat and squirrel. I use it for dubbing
my crude little nymphs. Fair amount of guard hair. Belly from whitish
to light grey/Brown. Back dark brown and grey. Very buggy. Easy to
pick out.

I got it from an old guy up on the Olympic peninsula, and I will never
use it up so . . . .
