Fish and Game Annual Auction to be in Salmon

You don't have to be a taxidermist to find a treasure at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's annual auction known as "The Fur Sale." This year's auction of furs, hides, antlers, fishing poles, and other items will be on Saturday, May 3, in Salmon. Fish and Game holds the auction in a different region of the state every spring. Most of the items up for auction include furs and hides that have been found, confiscated or seized by an Idaho court during the previous year. Road-killed and other dead game animals in good condition that have been picked up by Fish and Game are also included in the sale. Fish and Game conservation officers from the Panhandle to Pocatello will be cleaning out their evidence lockers and hauling seized items to Salmon over the next few weeks. A list of auction items will be available in mid-April. The auction will be at the Salmon Region office at 99 Highway 93 North. Auction items can be previewed at 8 a.m. and the auction will be from 10 a.m. to noon. For more information, please call Dave Silcock at 208-756-2271.
