First to Paul for having this plac for all of us to gather. Such a wide diverse group of talented individuals. We but heads and act like children at times but I dont think there is a member that. Would not stand up and help out if any was in need.
Its the most talented and rare group I've ever seen and im thankful and proud to be able to be a part of it rmeven though I dont bring much to the table .
Thanks to all the members that make this place so unique and traffic.
If this is typed poorly please excuse its a rougher ms day.
The positive part is being able to see things im thankfull for and how insignificant a lot of the things drama actually is.
Thanks everyone it takes every single one of you to bring it together. You all important yes I even miss baco complaing about the US. With mark June didnt quit posting.
Let's keep it in perspective how lucky we are to have this place and each other..

Looking for 100 or more fiberglass rat rods, will buy smaller quantities too. Looking for 3/8" x 6' or taller coated fiberglass. Located in SD, but may be willing to pay for shipping or drive within 3 hours of me for the right deal.
Two vintage Fox Trapping Pamphlets. One is titled "Fox Trapping Tips." It was published by the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, and it is in very nice condition. The other pamphlet, titled "Non-Freezing Dirt Sets," was by F. Q. Bunch, it is in pretty good shape, but it does show some wear. The copyright was by S. Stanley Hawbaker dated 1953.
$20.00 Postpaid, I accept personal checks, money orders and PayPal.
Two vintage Russ Carman catalogs, both in very nice condition. I do not know the dates, but I imagine they were two of his earliest going by the pricing of the lures. One catalog prices its one-ounce bottle of lures at $1.50, while the other prices them at $2.50. His Pros Choice lure was not made yet, as he called his fox lure "Fox Lure #1."
$25.00 Postpaid, I accept personal checks, money orders and PayPal.
Just had a very good experience selling muskrats to Wallfur on here. Prompt payment at a good price, ($4.00 nose count), on my southern Oregon rats, and we split shipping. He buys other fur, as well.
I have one that says Since 1670 on it, one that has Toronto & New York on it and 5 that have Toronto on them. Please see the pictures below. $15.00 each plus shipping. You can buy them individually or as many as you want. They are in very good condition but a couple are slightly dirty from being in the garage so long.
The 1670 bag and the Toronto-New York bag have been sold pending payment. I still have the 5 Toronto bags available.[u][/u]

Don’t know much about them some of my dad’s old stuff. One should be for a Mauser? And I believe the one in parts is for a 03 Springfield 30-06. $100 for everything pictured I’ll ship. Delete if it’s not supposed to be on here.
I have 7 dozen 1 1/2 coils, (montgomery, victor BMI, Sleepy Creek). $60 per dozen + $31 shipping. I have pictures but I am struggling to get them to upload.
I’ve tanned a few furs using Boco’s guide and I’ve had good results. The leather finishes soft, not greasy or dry, and the fur ends up perfect.
However, I have a hard time getting the leather to a smooth finish. Portions of each fur always end up like the photos attached (a bobcat) - lots of tags that I usually trim by hand. The photo with the tape measure is before the final wash and the other is the final product.
My only guess is I’m not fleshing the membrane off completely?
Jim from Night Owl Lures will be doing a podcast tonight at 7 eastern, 6 central time on lure making. Jim has been in the lure business a long time and really knows his stuff. If you're available it should be a good one! Check it out.
A buddy from an ATV club reached out tonight looking for some Beaver trapping help. If interested, I can put you in contact with him. Thanks in advance.

I own a bear guiding business in northern WI. Im looking for some nice Newhouse Bear Traps to have there. Im not interested in buying and then selling- thats not the purpose. I would appreciate anyone who would reach out if you would be interested in selling. Thanks Joe
