Oh wow, so the guy who bought your fur is married to the secretary/treasurer? Sounds like things are starting to add up now.

Out of date or not it's the same phone number Jt. it's hard to argue with that. Can you please give me an updated list?

Jt can you explain why the high, low, and averages were false?

It's on the WVTA website - http://www.wvtrappers.com/officers.html

Thank you Paul, I typed some stuff on google to find the address and that's what came up. I was searching to see how far the buyer was from the auction. Which was 45 minutes.

They have not been married for years and she has not been part of the association for years.

Jt can you explain why the high, low, and averages were false?

I'd kind of like someone who was at the sale or an officer in the know to explain the whole deal. Was the mans fur ok or did someone get it at a steal or what? There has to be an explanation.
Looking at the receipt it looks like it's just for the cat and the other stuff was not bought by the same person. Maybe that's just the check for the cat?

Wow, quite a bit different than what he posted on his website for prices, huh?

Bobcat (Finished / I-grade):

40″ (XXXL): $55
36″ (XXL): $45
32″ (XL): $30
28″ (LG): $25
24″ (MED): $10
<23.9&#8243; (SM): $8
II-grade: Deduct 25% or more

III-grade: Deduct 50% to 75%

IV-grade: No value

GREEN BOBCAT (skinned but not scraped, stretched, and dried): Deduct $2 per pelt.

Not the same person.

Green fur is not in the averages. There is no way to track by species since each green lot is one price whether one item or a hundred.

I can imagine why you guys would not want the green fur average posted. If thats the case at the top of your fur average sheet it should say "put up". Jt you guys involved and I say YOU because it is clear that you are very invested in this thread. YOU guys were very unfair to me. YOU guys discriminated against my fur just because I am from another state. YOU can type whatever YOU want, however it is clear that YOUR association did me wrong. I will continue to warn my fellow trappers to stay away from YOUR guys auction. I brought my fur to YOUR auction and I got took. That's fine, I just hope that someone out of 1,000 to 1,200 views people see how YOU guys work. It all seems fishy and I ain't got no pole.

Why isn't there a "NO SALE"?

Explain to me how we could average the green fur.

If we discriminate against other states, why did the PA bobcat bring more than the WVbobvats of the same grade. Look at the buyer sheets that were sent with your check.

Seems to me the folks running the WV fur auction better explain this or they will have a record low participation rate next sale...

Why isn't there an option to "NO SALE??"

Ok, I apologize. IMO Your guys auction discriminates against Ky fur. I heard it from a guy that had no reason to lie to me. He told me that he himself felt bad for what had happened. He took the time and trouble to call me and answer my emails.

As for your first question you could break the lot down by each individual piece of fur like the local buyers and groeny.

Ex.

Ok,

3 cats@$20
19 coyotes@$5
13 beaver@$1 (because their so much work)
4 coon@.50 cents
3 rats@.55 cents.

All of the above =$171.65

I told you guys early in the thread IT IS JOHN CALIPARI'S fault . He took a bunch of thumb suckers across the border and whipped up on Bob (huggy bear ) Huggins. So the problem is not green fur. Because it would have been underlined like the word Kentucky was !!!!!! It was were it came from.

Swamp, it would not surprise me if the reason given would be false. If it was my mistake and I knew it I would not have sad a word about it on a public forum. I am not asking for my money, at this point I wouldn't take it anyway. I want to help others see what can happen.

Spoken like a true hall knocker.

Ok since most post we agree we should stand to gather, go to the post Mr. Dobbins just posted and click on WV web page . Contact them and flood their in box with questions. See if anyone gives an answer as to the low value given for his fur. BUT my number one question is why was KENTUCKY underlined and even printed on the lot sheet like that is a category or grade of fur ?????? That's what stands out to me...

Exactly! Why was Ky underlined?? It don't make any sense.

Jt, If you was in my shoes and something like this happened to you I would have been on your side.
