Squirrel Tails for money/lures from Mepps

On the Mepps website they say it's illegal to sell squirrel tails in CA, ID, NJ, NC, and TX.  I guess I'm out of luck.  Does anyone know why these states would have this regulation?

This sounds almost too easy...I'm definately gonna try it this winter...

Tails are best on squirrels taken after October 1.
Do NOT remove the bone from the tail; it reduces the value. Split tails have no value.
Salt the butt end of the tail generously. Use either dry salt or dip in a strong saltwater solution.
Be sure the tail is straight before drying. Tails that dry curled are useless.
Keep tails away from flies. Best storage is in a freezer. Do not send tails that have been exposed
to flies.
Do not put tails in a plastic bag for storage or shipment. They could heat-up and spoil.
The best time to ship is during cold months (Jan, Feb, Mar, & April). Dried squirrel tails may be
shipped anytime.
Put your name, address and tail count inside each package.
Send your tails to: Sheldons', Inc., 626 Center St., Antigo, WI 54409-2496
