Trappers Workshop

April 3, 2013

With the guidance and hard work by Janice Johnson, we will be having a trappers workshop at Gentry Creek on Eufaula Lake from May 31, 2013 thru June 2, 2013.  We will have pulled pork for lunch Sat. so bring a side dish or dessert to go with it. If your unfamiliar with the workshop, it is sitting around a campfire and telling  stories and demonstrating trapping techniques.  No formal meeting, none of the stuff that keeps a lot of us too busy to relax and shoot the bull. A lot of us camp out and some just show up for the day. Either way, please come out. We have also been known to do a little fishing and noodling. Although it is generally a little early, we still give the noodling a try. We want to invite out any of the Youth Trappers that missed out on the camp...

Auction March 2, 2013 Results

March 9, 2013

We had a very full auction in March with a lot fur. We had to restrict the number of lots per seller to 10. This was necessary to keep us from running into the late evening. It also helped the trapper by making them bundle. This also kept the buyers from getting frustrated and leaving like happened 7 yrs or so ago.  OFBA Animal Totals W/ Prep Breakdown   3/2/2013 Badger  Animal Total:            3  Sale Total:  $32.50   Min  $7.50    Max  $15.00 Avg  $10.83 Green Prep Animal Total:              3     Prep Amount:            $32.50 Avg                        $10.83 Min                        $7.50                        Max                        $15.00 Beaver  Animal Total:       434  Sale Total:  $3,675.50  Min     $1.00  Max $20.00 Avg  $8.47 Green Prep Animal Total:           382     Prep Amount:        $2,804.50 Avg                        $7.34 Min                        $1.00                        Max                        $18.00 Stretched Prep Animal Total:            52     Prep Amount:          $871.00 Avg                        $16.75 Min                        $12.00                        Max                        $20.00 Bobcat  Animal Total:       682  Sale Total:  $86,578.50  Min     $5.00  Max $480.00...

We just had our first of two auction this year. The turn out for sellers was lower than expected. They must be opting to go only to the second sale as we have more names than expected for that one.
