I love it when the police department has their big auctions, even I've never purchased anything. That's right. Despite the fact I've come away empty-handed on multiple occasions, they're still a blast.

The same can be said--and often has been by anyone who's attended--for the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife's big fall surplus auction. Absolute STEALS is what we're talking about regarding a wide range of items. And these auctions set themselves apart from the rest not just because of all the surplus stuff, but also because you'll find a lot of confiscated property as well. Again, if you come away with nothing, I'm sure you'll still have a great time.

Kentucky Dept. of Fish & Wildlife Resources Surplus Auction

But I would imagine plenty of Kentuckians will hit the jackpot when the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources holds its fall surplus auction this Monday, October 7th on its campus at 1 Sportsman Lane in Frankfort.

As is typical with surplus auctions of this nature, there will be no pre-purchase inspection of items which will be sold as is. And only qualified Kentucky residents may bid at the auction. Additionally, there are some items that will require a criminal background check before they can be purchased.

The Items Up for Bid at the Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Surplus Auction

Here is the entire list of items that will be up for bids at the KDFWR auction on Monday, and, as you can see, there is a TON of hunting equipment:
