I think that was in Scribner NE, 1977. Home of Smeal Hide and Fur. I sold a lot of critters to Harry and Bob over the years. They had “The market, our guess” article in “The Trapper” for years.

Did you ever sell to them Jim?

First one I was around was about '83 or '84 in Kansas.
A lot of the big names then are out of the game now. Some deceased, some just moved on. "Long-lining" was all the rage. There was some decent money to still be made but it seemed the better money was in telling/showing/selling others on how to do it, even then. Some of the best never sold anything but furs.
