a wv fur buyer passed away a few months back and theyre settling the estate..

So we went to buy antlers..which we got...and we ended up buying the whole business.

Lock stock and barrel

(We aren't planning to go into the business..but ya never know)


cases and cases of.leather gloves. Black rubber gloves,wire stretchers, traps,..new and used..fleshing beams, lures, chain, wire.

Too much stuff to believe.

Literally the whole kit and caboodle.

Now the work begins.

We have to catalog and load it tomorrow .

I'm catalogging as we go because we have no idea how much of what there is.

We.got a load of antlers in the truck and tomorrow we go back with the trailer to get more antlers and all the supplies.

Jerry will never have to buy certain stuff ever again in his lifetime.

It's truly an over whelming undertaking.

I think im more excited than Jerry is.

I can't wait to see exactly everything we got.

It was for one heck of a good price too.


Im.gonna be worn out before it's over but I am truly excited to see what we got and what we're gonna sell.

Once we figure it out, we'll have to get a business license.

Well cross that bridge when we come to it.

Sounds about like going to a cattle auction, you plan buying a few then next thing you know you are calling the trucking company looking for cattle pots. grin

Well,well,well! No more trapping for Jerry. He'll be stuck in the backroom filling orders!

Congrats!

Good for you both, it's fun Ms. V & myself have a small business (trapping business).
We like the travel's we have been on.

Service work can be over whelming at times but still fun.

Enjoy

Good time to get into it with fur prices on the rise.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Marten trapping is over? Spent the money before you got it? Did I miss the final pics, posts on the marten?

Sounds like a great buy- I’m sure the pieces are worth more than the whole purchase price.
Good Luck
