Two or three times during the three month trapping season the Alabama Fur Taker's Association would sponsor a fur auction, usually near Montgomery since that was more centrally located. This was also payday for the trapper and it was always nice to have several fur buyers bidding on your fur. Here are a few photos from some great fur auction memories.
