Any ones else use the nafa pickup in NY today? I was at his first stop and he had me help him pack the bags in the truck tighter because he was almost out of room. Curious to see what he did when he ran out of space at the next stop when he had six more to go. Anybody else's fur get picked up by him?

NAFA pickup in Albany, IL. today. Same story, truck was full. I stayed to help finish loading the truck as the driver had to climb in to get the last bags in. Had to call someone else with a truck to finish todays route. The driver said after the last auction he couldn't believe the number of coyotes being sent to auction. It didn't hurt that with this years weather we basically had two seasons. Sounds like a lot of fur in the next auction.

It was nearly empty up here, I threw the 3rd bag of fur in.

Our guy said all his other routes had very little fur so he brought a smaller truck, whoops.

The agent in my area uses a Budget moving truck. I would say a 14 footer and he could have used a Prius with the amount he had in the truck. Was even worse than last year. They did pick up twice this year instead of once though.
Wish I had more time to trap....

I wondered how that truck made out. It was pretty full to begin with at the Geneva pick up and I was surprised by the amount of bags I saw coming in. What time were you at the Geneva pickup?

I had about a dozen bags he picked up at my place. His trailer was about 1/3 full and I was one of his last stops. He drives a 1Ton Ford diesel with a pretty long trailer. One of the nicest fellas you'll ever meet.

On our route they use a Budget rental maybe 20' it was less then a third full on the first stop of his second day of pickup. About the same as last year, remember few years ago the was about full when he got to us.
