Yea id open up a beauty parlor too if i had cats bringing that much. These old brier patch cats ain't nothing to get excited about.

In '84 at a big tri state auction i had two crappy cats they tried to steal for 15.00 each i turned down and shipped off to Geo. I. Fox and got 35.00 for one and 65.00 for the other one. Wasn't hard to shop around fur back then.

After 6 or 7 hours with a fan and heat, I rub off the excess borasx turn them fur side out, tack them to the stretcher and blow them dry with a blow dryer. Makes for some very nice clean, silky cats. I don't usually go to these lengths for coyotes, but for a $500 to $1000 dollar cat, I'll spend a little time


Hero pictures from last few years.
The picture on the top, those 6 cats went for over $5000 at auction.

Been going to the March, Glenn's Ferry {Idaho trapper's Association sale} for the past 4 years. Been very pleased with the results. Went to Nephi 5 years back and was not very happy.

Dont know about bobcat but I will never wash a lynx pelt.
Lynx have a natural oil in their fur that makes it shine and glossy.
Wash that out with soap and they lose that nice shine and feel.


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

Sad 25 years ago all i had to do was tie the feet to the body and drop in the freezer and sell whole for 75.00 each no matter how big or what color they were. Now they have to go the beauty parlor to even get any attention, lol.
