fur sale question ( please respond everyone)

[lonniephillips]

I'm thinking about putting together a fur sale in the south

somewhere (anywhere) south of Indianapolis
not sure where exactly yet but I would like to know if anyone would be interested in attending and selling their fur.
the proceeds with go to trappers ed classes and camps throughout the state.
It would purchase things like , NTA trappers handbooks , FTA,NTA and ISTA youth memberships to give away.
traps and anything else that will be needed to make these camps and classes a great time for the kids.
Whatever ideas anyone has would be great.


This is not set in stone , I'm just wanting some feed back
possibly some location suggestions
date suggestions and such

The reason I'm choosing the south is that the ISTA already has a north sale that is very large and well attended that I do not want to compete with
they however cancelled their southern sale this year.

I could use some help if anyone is interested.
PM me or email me

Who are you going to sell fur to? I guess I'm confused about what you want to do.

It's for people come to and sell their fur guys. Lonnie is trying to get a sell together that fur buyers will attend so hunters/trappers will be able to bring in their fur and the fur buyers buy it.

[Decatur]

That's what I thought, but shouldn't it be a fur "buy"? ;d I won't be sling much if any steal this year, so I won't be attending. Good idea tho.

[tobias]

LOL! I don't want to attend any "fur buy" cause I don't plan on buying any............I want to "sell" mine!

[Decatur]

ya, but they are doing the buying. Maybe "come sell your furs" would work better? ;d

It is a fur Sale
you and anyone else can sale their fur in a action

same as the ISTA has been doing for the past several years
they cancelled their southern sale

I can put one together but just need to know if anyone is interested

any profit would be earmarked for trappers ed classes

[tobias]

i can get several guys that would be intereseted and willin to help out Lonnie!

Join and support your local FTA (Fur Takers of America) fur sales. Most Indiana chapters have two sales a year. These chapters in Indiana are the back bone for the rights of Indiana trappers.

[tobias]

Sounds like your sayin FTA is the only organization in the state that supports trappin Whiteoak.

[whiteoak]

I' not sure right now, but time will tell.
