If I remember correctly, their top price for stretched and dried is $45. If the tail is mostly black, you will not get enough to cover shipping. Like the Mad Scientist said, Pirate Ship is the way to minimize the cost of shipping. Life Member: NCTA, VTA, NTA, TTFHA, MFTI Member: FTA

I just saw Dusty Hough pay $60 for on in Carrington at the NDFTA convention a week ago. Groney rocks. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."

Dave B said they’re going to be putting out another video in the next couple weeks on exactly what they’re looking for. I got a few summers that I want to see what they get at the March auction. Wind Blew, crap flew, out came the line crew
