Title: Potential Critter Buyer
Post by: Cylvertip on February 13, 2009, 10:43:03 AM: I do a lot of nuisance beaver trapping and am just getting into varmint hunting. I may have found someone that will buy animals "in the round".
I talked to Steve Dean from Frozencritters.Net at the Puyallup Sportsmen's Show. He said he may be interested in purchasing animals if the quantity and $$$'s are right. He's out of Orting. I told him I would get his info on here.

He seems to be in the market for just about anything with fur on it, so give him a call and maybe you can work something out.

As a reference, we were talking about quantities of about 10 animals at a shot, but I live a good distance away. If you live closer to Orting, the numbers may be able work out a little lower for you.

I have gone for the past couple of years and have seen everything from frozen bobcat paws to antlers, castor glands, whole frozen animals, as well as some nicely put up fur and tanned fur.
Have you already called Cascade wildlife supply/Trapper supply in Tacoma? I know George is a fur buyer, but don't know if he buys 'in the round'.

My dad sold fur to George for years, once old Ed hung it up in Tumwater, way back when. George is a good guy. I've actually got a couple of pictures on my desk that were taken at his shop.

I've been to the fur auctions probably 15 times, but not in Centralia. Started going to them when they were at the Thurston County Fair Grounds and then to the ones at Swede hall in Rochester. Always a good time. Lots of good people. Always a laugh to hear the winning bid when some one brought in a bunch of possums or a skunk.

Frozencritters.net should have an address for Steve.
