Here Are All the Items Available at the KY Fish & Wildlife Spring Surplus Auction

Surplus auctions push all my buttons...the RIGHT ones. As someone who loves treasure hunting at flea markets and consignment stores, this really hits home.

And it's because of the variety. There are always lots of surplus items; that's in the name, so, you know, duh. But it's all the fascinating CONFISCATED property you might run across that you wouldn't otherwise have a shot at purchasing. They're even fun when I don't find anything I want to buy.

The surplus auction is a bi-annual event; there's also one in October. Here's a look at the most recent one:
