Not looking too good for furbuyers. I called Dick Stewart and he is spooked by the uncertainty of the fur market. I'm going to make some more calls next week after the Prineville sale to see if anybody will come.
We have been getting fewer buyers as time goes on and there is the possibility we won't have any this year.
We can't lure any out of staters because of the high price of the fur buyers license. WG Trading came a couple years but I think never again. Dick bought the majority of furs last year so without him we're screwed. Leaves George Brady if he will drive over. The other two that have been coming seem to only buy select stuff for their own use.
I guess that is why we went more to a Rendezvous type get together.

Looks like if the anti's can't stop us from trapping, the game department will make it so we can't sell our furs. Enough crying. I'm looking forward to see some west side striped skunks. Good luck
