2016 Fur Auction – 3/19 – 20

N.J.T.A. Fur Auction Rules

If you just drop off your fur and leave you cannot put a minimum on it. To put a minimum on your fur you must wait in line until your fur comes up for grading then discuss the minimum price with Tom. Tom will set the minimum with the trapper at his side. Tom will start the bidding at the minimum bid on any lot that has a minimum. If the minimum is not met it will not be sold and the seller must be there Sunday (the day of the auction) to take his fur home. You cannot say “sell it anyway” if the minimum is not met. And there will be no sales permitted in the parking lot (private treaty).

Also,  if your fur does not sell even though there was no minimum on it you also must be there Sunday (day of the auction) to take your furs home.

Remember if you put a minimum on your fur you must be there Sunday the day of the sale to take your fur home if the minimum is not met. Also even if there is no minimum on your fur and it does not sell you must be there Sunday the day of the sale to take your fur home.

 

FUR DROP OFF SATURDAY, 3/19/16 ONLY

Your help is needed to protect our rights

Your help and input is needed. Please contact the members of the Fish and Game Council and your local representatives about the DP trap and it’s value as a wildlife management too, especially as it relates to the rabies vector animal (raccoon) that is a specific target for the trap.

Many people who are against this trap (and trapping in general) are contacting our representatives. Many of them are not New Jersey residents (that means not voters and taxpayers too) but they are sending letters, emails and faxes against this important tool.

THIS IS IMPORTANT — have your voice be heard and DO IT NOW!

If you are sending a paper letter or a fax, here is a link to the information:
