The put-ups and care that you witness are light years ahead of the first sales I attended in the 70's. It's pretty cool in the mornings of auction watching these guys walk in with their cats on hangers to keep the fur looking pristine. They earn all the money they get for them.

Things have evolved, some good, some not so. Pineville remains a.good.sale. Clean traps,tight lines,straight shooting http://i.imgur.com/3sawxE9m.jpg

Building was so small, we had fur everywhere. Were you at that sale? www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

Building was so small, we had fur everywhere. Were you at that sale? Powell Butte was my first sale. I am thinking early to mid 70's. Had three called in coyotes that I had stretched on 2X4's. $7 for all three. My fur handling education started there. Odd how coyote prices are about the same this year.

Do you remember the first OTC sales? I believe they were first incorporated in WA. I know there was a sale at Rochester WA that went 7 days. I don't remember the year but sometime in the 70s. I was told it was reincorporated in OR because the laws were friendlier. Seems like I was told that one sale sold $7 million in furs. Of course, that was about the first trapper auction and fur came in from all over the west.
