For those who run/attend state fur auctions, do you usually have buyers attend who are taxidermists or crafters?

Missouri sale does.

We usually have one or two taxidermist at our auction. Not much for crafters due to high cost of fur buyers license. Our association is working on trying to get the DNR to lower the price of the license so more crafters will come to the sale. I suppose each state will probably have some taxidermist at their sale.

Just fur buyers at ours.

We get a few craft buyers at the ohio sales

Colorado attracts craft buyers.

Most are furbuyers, you don't need a license up to a certain limit

Many times at the OTC sales we have fur buyers who have special orders from crafters that they are filling. We have a couple of buyers that are strictly buying for the craft trade or their own creations. At one time we had three different crafters buying otter but I think we're down to one active buyer now. And, he knows it. Competition being a healthy thing.

Plenty of them show up for the Idaho sales seems like

Iowa always has a few taxidermists.

Usually a few at the NYS auctions.
