It time to start getting you fur ready for the auction this weekend. You can drop them off at Fairbanks Fur Tannery or with JR. Lets not wait till the last day, sooner is better, so we can organize them. Also if you have items to donate to the fling. You can drop them off at the Cutting Edge. Should be a great weekend!

I'm looking forward to it!

Post lots of pics!
Love to see nice prime northern fur.

Looking forward to it as well! Keyo is bringing up some fur for me on Friday. Hopefully make it there in time for some of the auction on Saturday before the Fling and will be there Sunday for sure!

I've been tagging fur and getting ready for the auction on Saturday. This beauty came in today from Heimo Korth. He was pretty excited when he called about catching the most beautiful wolf he'd ever caught. This beauty will be in the auction. This should be our high bid on the furs I'm guessing.

Wow, nice!

Thats a beauty.

Looks like an Arctic Fox crossed with Wolf. Amazing looking!

Heimo outdid himself on that great white beast!

Good thing the BOG did not pass, eliminating the harvest of white animals.

Wow, that's nice! Would have been a great specimen on the taxi market. Hope he gets a good price for it.

Well, years ago, I tried, and failed, to prevent the protection of any "white-colored black bear", in this area.
That was back under the Knowles BOG, and I didn't stand a chance.
That rule still stands, today.

What rule still stands today A.V.?

That is a beauty!

Can not harvest a white colored black bear in unit 1c, or 1d.
Ted was on my side, of course, as to the non-sensical idea that this represented some "spirit bear", but other BOG members, such as Joel Bennett and another from Sitka, (who's name escapes me), refused to budge. They wanted protection, mostly at the urging of a local, well-connected photographer that was making bank on pictures of said animal.
Our dearly devoted "friend", Nic Jans added his two, (or four), cents into the pot, and that was it.

I remember, now: Ben Grussendorf. Would NEVER have happened if Buist and Yurko had been sitting with Spraker. NEVER.

White bears only become “spirit bears” when they die. Hunter’s are helping them become the bear they were meant to be....

Very interesting about white colored bears. How much white has to be on the bear to consider it a white bear? What variation of the color white, is white? Does that include cream, very light yellow, or a very frosty colored bear? Seams to me there is some grey area in this regulation. no pun intended.

Whatever happened to........"content of their character" ??

Well I’m sitting here in Fbks, but plan to get out of here in a couple hours. Hope it turns out well
