My wife, She-who-must-be-obeyed, and I have decided to move to Idaho in the spring. Consequently, She has instructed me to get rid of most of my toys. I've already sold my snow-go, ATV, one of my canoes, a Freedom Arms .454 Casull, and three rifle scopes. Haven't lost any of my beloved rifles yet, but some are on the block.

And now I turn to my traps and trapping gear, the reason for this post. I just don't have the time to list it all item by item on the Shed, package it all up, and make multiple trips to the post office. And given shipping rates from Alaska, it would be prohibitive. So I'm making a solicitation to ALASKA trappers:

BUY ME OUT! I'm looking for a lump-sum offer for the whole kit and caboodle. Even lowball offers will be considered.

A couple of guys already cherry-picked most of my Belisles and 330s, but I still have some left. Have a few dozen #1 LS, maybe a dozen #1.5s, some #2 and #3 coils, #3 Bridger four-coils, three or four CDC wolf traps, some #3 and #4 DLS. #110s, 120s, 220s, 280s, and 330s. One Species Specific 12-inch body grip. Two or three dozen each fox and wolf snares. RAM snares in three sizes. Stretcher boards, and one wire beaver hoop. Miscellaneous tools and equipment. Marten boxes. A collection of trapping lures. And some antique/collectible traps I may consider selling separately.

Tomorrow I'm going to get a better inventory and can provide the info to serious inquiries. Please text or call 907-602-3957 if interested.

Hi Paul! I lost your email address when I abandoned my hotmail account. Shoot me an email if you feel like it, and I'll reply. sarafinjames@yahoo.com

Interesting thread.

I always thought of you as a lawyer and I am really surprised that you actually selling stuff a trapper would own!

Well, for more than twenty years I mistook this site for a lawyer's forum, what with all the arguing going on. Imagine my embarrassment when I found out this is actually a site about trapping!

I was a trapper long before I imagined becoming a lawyer.

Are you interested in buying my gear?

Jim

Don't fall in a mud puddle down there or they will Baptiste you .Hope you get on well there .

Not trapping in Idaho? High dollar bobcats there!

Just sold the whole lot for $800. Several thousand dollars worth of trapping stuff. You can't snooze on these deals, friends.

Now I have to meet with two guys who want to see my reloading tools and components.

Thanks Paul for tolerating this thread.

Jim

Oh, I did keep most of the collectible traps for separate sale. To those who inquired about these, I have to put off my inventory until tomorrow.

Jim

you Still have those #1 would love to use those for some marten?

Had about four dozen #1s. But they're part of the deal I made.

Jim

Ok thank you

not to hijack this thread but i have some #1s i would be willing to get rid of

Just now opened this. I'm glad you got'r sold. When you go to Idaho, don't try to turn that state liberal, and you will do well there.

Maybe I'll run for office to straighten them out.

Jim

Jim,

If you thought Alaskans were cranky to liberals, wait until you arrive in Idaho!

Good luck in your ventures.

Pete

Please, please, just don't try to change our politics. You're moving to Coeur d'Alene or vicinity? Just what this state needs is another attorney...

Jack

I'm not an attorney anymore.

I was hoping my buyer would chime in, cackling over what a deal he got. Maybe he's a lurker.

Jim

I understand there has been an invasion of Californians to Coeur d' Alene, where we'll relocate. The Californians should keep the locals busy worrying about liberalism.

Jim

I will miss your "Haggard-ism's", James.
Don't be a stranger.

Jim thanks for the deal on the trapping supplies! That should keep us busy for a couple days sorting it all out and getting a good inventory. Everything is in great condition and will be a nice addition to what we already had. Good luck down south!

Yes I am guilty of mostly lurking on here.

how's your "guy with a pulse" working out?
