Here is some info on the UTA sale, a few things have changed this year.
Seller’s rules for U.T.A. fur sale
1. Sellers must call in to reserve a spot in the sale. Call in period will start five weeks before the fur sale and end two weeks before the sale. Exact dates will be set each year by the fur sale committee. These dates will be published in the trapper predator caller magazine, posted on the U.T.A. web site and sent in the form of a letter to each member of the U.T.A. Information needed to reserve your spot will be your name, phone number and number of pelts per species.
If you fail to call in during the call in period you will not be allowed to sale.
2. Seller must be a member of the U.T.A. before his/her fur is entered into the sale. Please have your membership card available to verify your membership this will speed things up at the check in table.
Seller may purchase a membership on sale day prior to entering fur.
3 Seller must read and sign seller’s agreement.
4 Bobcats must have the D.W.R. permanent tag before you will be given a lot
Number. Pelts should be lotted, prepped and ready to sell before you get your lot numbers. No pelt prepping allowed in the building. When you receive your lot numbers get them on your pelts and turn them over to the floor workers as soon as possible.
5 If your bobcats are tagged in Utah you will be allowed to sell one limit per member. Family membership will cover one limit per family member.
Exceptions to this rule:
1. Fur tagged from an earlier season.
2. Fur brought in by fur buyers. Must have fur buyers permit.
6 Sellers will be allowed no more than 3 single lots per species.
Lots of two or more pelts should be tied together before bringing them to the lot-tagging table. We will have string available for this. Do not use wire.
7 Absolutely no one except buyers and authorized U.T.A. fur sale workers will be allowed on the sale floor. No pictures will be allowed except those take by an authorized U.T.A. historian.
Failure to follow these rules could result in having your fur pulled from the sale.
