If your not selling to the taxidermy market they dont want the feet. When they tumble the fur after buying if it still has the feet on many times it will damage the pelts. Unless your selling to the taxidermy market or mountain man clothing makers I would remove the feet for fur sales you will make more money.
As for the ears most buyers want the ear cartilage removed on Bobcat, Fox and Coyotes but most guys dont bother due to the fact that most of the time the head is not even used.
