Thank you, sounds like a good one.

Starts today.

They were already putting shipped in fur on the tables yesterday. I heard they had 450 cats on the tables first thing this morning.

They really need to find bigger facilities. The items are already in multiple buildings. Not criticizing, just saying. When goods get that spread out it is difficult to keep an eye on everything.

Hope enough buyers show up to make it worth the shippers time and effort.

Still plenty of space left, but the line outside is getting long. Going to be a busy afternoon today and morning tomorrow. On our way home. Keep us posted.

Is each cat sold separately? If not, how do they know which lot is which when they are so close together like that. Just curious.

They mark each fur in the lot with a colored zip tie.

Look at all those bobcats....... Very nice

i have some stuff out there black rats open with tail on and reg and black rats some tanned fur and put up redfox

Thanks for sharing the pictures!
There was a gentleman last year that went through and videoed all the fur.
That sure was enjoyable to watch! Hopefully someone can do that again this year!
Can't wait to see how it goes! Thanks again idaho trapping association!

Dropped my cats this morning
That row she and to the left of her were full when we left
Heard that there will be over 1200

Does anyone know who the contact is to ship there or where you ship to ? I always wanted to ship to a western state just to see how they would do with the craft buyers .

Tommie, go to the Idaho Trappers Association web page. It tells you how to consign items for auction/sale.

Idaho trappers have 2 sales each year. Mid January and early March. They tend to attract a fair number of craft buyers. Craft buyers tend to buy small quantities, so if you send a lot number of cats, lot them in small lots. 2-3 skins per lot.

Colorado trappers also accept shipped in fur.

Rusty - the guy that runs the Idaho sales - is going to be VERY busy for the next couple of weeks. You might want to wait a while before you contact him.

1400 plus bobcats and still checking in fur

Going to be a good sale, Best of luck to all.

Any one at the sale in person? How much fur? Who is there for buyers? Any updates would be appreciated.

Hope everyone’s fur does well!!!!

I'm here at the sale, seen quite a few people with bidding sheets. The book is thick, a total of 8,198 lots for auction. I'll admit I'm new so I'm unfamiliar with the buyers. Heard someone say they were up to 1,600 bobcat.
