Has any one talked to Hector recently or had him do any tanning? He isn’t returning calls or emails. I have a friend that needs some pelts tanned and would like to give him a try. Before you say anything - Moyles is not an option for various reasons. Enough said.

For those who don’t know the name - Hector has a fur dressing business in southern idaho. Business name is Furs For Fun.

Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.

He has never been good at communicating but always did good work when I used him

Ive not been able to contact any one there for years, just tried last year again as he used to tan the beaver tails at Molyes till they said no more, if he is still in business , if you get ahold of him ask him before you let him go !

I don't think he is working any more though !!

He hasn't showed up at K Falls (OTC) the last two years. He was always a constant there. Nancy, you might want to reach out to Don Nichols, he might know what is going on.

My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I asked Rusty - ITA fur sales - and he said he hadn’t talked to Hector in months.

I thought you loved Moyles?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I believe his boy was doing the tanning several years ago and Hector had semi retired.

Boco - I absolutely adore Moyle. Use them for 100% of my tanning needs.

My inquiry is for a friend. Exploring their options. Enough said.
