Default What info is needed to ship furs to auction?

So I've got into processing coyotes this winter and currently have 5 ready to go (hoping to get a bunch more). My question is what info is needed to ship them to the next nafa auction? I heard you need to put down your trappers license#, but I don't have one, I just shoot them..
Any clarification would be helpful
Thanks!

Default I think your first step

Set up an account with NAFA and it will tell you what is required before you ship.

I wouldn't process any more. They are rubbing hard right now. Got 5 today and 2 of them don't look like much fun on the hind ends

The fur receipt has a spot for a permit or trapping number, make sure you bring your win card. perfectly legal to sell your coyotes. Take them to halfords or other fur depot and they do the paper work. They might want the legal land description. They tag, pack and ship them. Pretty painless.

Or you can sell to a fur buyer, the benefit is he can give you feed back on how well you prepped them, otherwise if you have some that get graded as damaged you won't know why.

I sold to a fur buyer a couple times before sending to auction, I think the hit I took from the fur buyer was wroth the feedback. Just my opinion though.

I was thinking the same thing, but shot one the other day and it was a giant fluff ball! Out of the half dozen I've got in the last couple weeks none have showed any signs of rubbing and all have been very nice fur still, so I've just kept on keepin on

And thanks for the info, Phil. I think I remember you telling me that now.. So just my WIN# and legal land description if they ask? Thanks again
