I know this is not the normal way to list stuff, but I'm over whelmed! My mother is 80 and her and my step-dad need someone to live in and care for them. I have way too much stuff. Add to that I have had knee surgery and rotator cuff surgery and now I'm scheduled for back surgery in April, guess I'm pretty much hanging it up. But like any devout trapper I will keep a handful of traps as selling them all would like giving away my dogs!

Some items can go to local auctions other items are better sold in a forum like this. So here's my best estimate of what I have and if there is anyone willing to come see it, all the better. I'm telling you'd think I was trying to equip the Hudson Bay Company.

Somewhere between 2,000 and 4,000 user traps, take them all from #1 jumps and LS to #4 and #5 coils and longs. Several hundred body grips of which I would estimate about 100 330s.
These would not include old collector traps or my bear traps. $10,000 or come make a pile and an offer.

Lots of steel stretchers from muskrat to coyote. I would guess about 200-300, $1000 or best offer. This includes my beaver boards and round stretchers.

Lures and lure items, include beaver and muskrat (about 20 gallons) which have been aged to paste form about 7 years, some glands, skunk, mink, muskrat, many commercial lures $1,000 or best offer.

I have sifters, hulls, bags for drowning weights, pack baskets, so let's talk. Anyone will to take it all will get the deal of a lifetime. Someone could start a business with what I have. I just don't have time to put it all on Ebay and would rather see someone here benefit. I am over loaded in my shop and my will end up bringing it all to a professional Ebay seller. Although most of these items will bring more than what I'll let them go for. It just seems like too much of a headache if I can avoid.

Also I have a few hundred trapping books, lots of videos and almost every issue of Fur Fish Game with the exception of September 1925.

Oh and I also have some new size 13 hip boots with felt soles and heavy canvass outer shell, and some new size 4 hip boots with lug soles. $75 and $40 obo

For bear traps I have a Newhouse #5 in excellent condition $1,000. Also a very strong blacksmith made that is larger than the #5. that took two 250+ pound men, one on each spring to set. Long blacksmith made dogless. About the size of a 16 or 50 Newhouse. $1,000

Here are some pics of the shed with some of the user traps in it. Shed is 8' x 8'.
Also some pics of the #5 Oneida Community NewHouse bear trap.
