2nd hand info, i could be wrong it started at 1200 and had no bids It's still available That is exactly what happened! Maybe Heimo didn't actually want to sell that wolf when he established that minimum bid?!!! Pete

Unusual color but it actually looks sort of flat to me. I thought I noticed something. But the pack said it was beautiful.

I know Heimo traps north but I didn’t think he was far enough north to trap Ellesmere Island white wolves. I guess that is why the minimum he set. Lots of gas to get there.
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Pretty happy with the results of our 46th annual ATA Fur auction. We sold a little over $80,000 worth of fur and antler on Saturday and Sunday's auctions. Thank you for all the volunteers that helped out. We couldn't do it without you. Had around 100 furs that didn't sell and got them all separated out this morning. Got all the tags separated for individual trappers, inventory sheets tallied up and just waiting on our bookkeeper to cut the checks. Everything really clicked this year without any major mishaps. Our biggest hiccup was running the generator out of gas for the PA system and misplacing one lynx skull. Overall a great sale for the little crowd we had. Thank you again to all our volunteers.

Unusual color but it actually looks sort of flat to me. I agree. That wouldn't have got much if you had taken to Mattie or Wivoda. White, not Ken, seems to bring dollar signs to many trappers, like white toes on lynx. There was a 2nd white wolf. Did it sell? How much?

Hey guys just a quick update on the ATA Fur Auction in Fairbanks. We had a great sale and sold $83,000 worth of fur on those two days. Everyone should have received their checks but our bookkeeper didn't send the invoices with the checks. Sorry about that. The invoices got mailed out on Friday so you should be receiving them soon. Thanks to all who sent fur in for the auction and those who volunteered for the two days to help. We had a great bunch of people on the auction and everything went off without a hitch. We were short on trapper fur this sale so I asked for the help of two of Fairbanks' local fur buyers. Alaska Raw Fur and Arctic Raw Fur both stepped up to help out with supplying us with a bunch of fur. We sold all but a couple bags of fur. Looking forward to next season already.
On behalf of the ATA BOD, we thank you for your continued support.
