Marten trapping is over? Spent the money before you got it? Did I miss the final pics, posts on the marten?

If you don’t mind me asking which one was it? I hate seeing fit businesses here in wv close up seems like they don’t stop around here in wv.

I though someone had already taken Dayton's business over.

Dayton was a friend. Happy to see his stuff go to a good trapper friendly recipient.
Very happy for you Cathy .... and Dayton too.

a wv fur buyer passed away a few months back and theyre settling the estate..

So we went to buy antlers..which we got...and we ended up buying the whole business.

Lock stock and barrel

(We aren't planning to go into the business..but ya never know)


cases and cases of.leather gloves. Black rubber gloves,wire stretchers, traps,..new and used..fleshing beams, lures, chain, wire.

Too much stuff to believe.

Literally the whole kit and caboodle.

Now the work begins.

We have to catalog and load it tomorrow .

I'm catalogging as we go because we have no idea how much of what there is.

We.got a load of antlers in the truck and tomorrow we go back with the trailer to get more antlers and all the supplies.

Jerry will never have to buy certain stuff ever again in his lifetime.

It's truly an over whelming undertaking.

I think im more excited than Jerry is.

I can't wait to see exactly everything we got.

It was for one heck of a good price too.


Im.gonna be worn out before it's over but I am truly excited to see what we got and what we're gonna sell.

Once we figure it out, we'll have to get a business license.

Well cross that bridge when we come to it.

Have fun on your "easter egg" hunt. I would love to go through all the dark corners and look behind all the cabinets and such. You never know what you'll find. Was he in business long?

So with the new find of hides when are you going to start sewing some garments together.
