You all know that our situation is dire. Help me show some support. At the OTC redmond sale I will donate 1lb of castor, 5 beaver pelts, 2 skunks and 2 coyotes ( western or mud dogs) please outdo me and make me sweeten the pot. I know a couple of you have already shown interest in donating ---- what you got?

Wow - I was expecting at least a response --- so who all is going? I've been PMed by one, and have heard some of his thoughts (much appreciated by the way). I didn't think that I'd poed that many of our Oregon bretheren.

I’d help but been having heart problem all season so never got out

I can appreciate that -- my trapping was very curtailed this year because of business and fur prices -- Hope you are doing well now.

I've got some antlers I could donate .

I hope to be there , not sure just yet . Im burning up the Oregon to Nevada highway lately

I'm afraid my Dad's luck is finally running out . He lives in Nevada

We’re getting our butts handed to us at work the last two weeks with trying to restore power. If it calms down and I can actually get ready I’m sure I can come up with something.

Kind of a wieners way out but is there a donation thing set up somewhere? A jug on a hardware store counter or on the computer someplace?

Sorry to hear that -- prayers sent to both of you. To be honest that is my biggest problem with leaving Oregon right now -- Dad lives across the street in the house he grew up in --- he isn't leaving and he is almost 80 -I don't blame him. He is still very active and he and my mom both still have relatively good health. Again - prayers sent to you and yours.

Thanks H20 , I appreciate that

I don't know about that, but let me do some checking -- I'm working on a couple of ideas too. BTW -- me and my neighbors thank-you -- you are getting the crap beat out of you after this little ice thing.I finally quit hauling my generator over to a couple of my neighbors on monday - just charging thier well pumps so they could at least flush. We were only out for 2 days -- no big deal for us(watering the livestock took a little more effort. At least we aren't in Texas

Those are some great donations there H20. I used to donate fruit from our farm for the Waldo Lake rendezvous every year but haven't been able to break away from farm operations for several years now.

I'm game. Let me see what I can come up with....

Sorry to here that anti, know that if you need something just reach out. I'll do what i can

Thank you very much !

I already know you will come up with "something" -- I have wanted to go for the rendezvous for several years -- doesn't fit with my irrigation service work well at all (time wise), I have a hard time getting free for Deer season most years.Farming and trapping go well together and then they don't -- maybe its the self employment thing. BTW -- thanks again Carl.I have needed some help for a while now.

O.K--O.K ------ I will sweeten the pot ( but not by much) 2-coon and 1 more skunk added. I don't care if it is this sale or the K. Falls sale ---- Just let Don or Jim know what you are sending. I am hauling my stuff to Don on Tuesday -so any increases after Tuesday will be have to be made up on the K. Falls sale. Please don't make us like WA or CA ( Idaho is O.K. though)

Klamath will have better prices on some items. Not sure how many craft buyers will be at Redmond. Skunk,well put up coon(good faces and nice tails), and other critters with feet done sometimes do very very well at klamath as the craft buyers go there.
Castor will probably be equal at both sales. More return for your donations helps. Putting up 2 dollar critters rather then tossing them then donating them also helps.
We are not any where near as financed as the opposition but the more money we have to fight with the better our odds are of turning into another california.
Please help the fight.
DONATE
