Those States have active furbuyers available.

Wondering how so many other states get around that, or are these individual state regulations

Cause they are not yankee's!

I looked into this over 20 years ago here for our assocation and discovered out of state fur buyer license were sky high thus prohibitive to potential buyer's. Some of that might be playing into things elsewhere, who knows. MAIN problem id see is VOLUNTEERS! All these sales and convention's don't run theirself! Stuff doesn't just 'happen' on it's on. Usually got 2 or 3 people running everything and they just don't have the time nor energy to add something else to the list.

We're working on it. We just have to get around this nonprofit thing.
I reached out to Groenewold but haven't had any response.

Groenewold contacted me one year about good locations to buy fur here. I mentioned our trapping association held a fur auction and they replied they didn't do auctions,for what it's worth.

I know a cat buyer that has been actively buying cats on the western sales for Groenewold.

Cats are one thing, but they aren't going to an association sale and buying coons and such.
