What year was the first yearbook?

Still trying to find out what year Trapper & Predator Caller published their first yearbook. Before it was called Trapper & Predator Caller it was called "The Trapper" , did they publish a yearbook then?

I am looking, I think it had a coyote on the cover, but it was in black and white.

Old thread, but Nittany I think this is the first "The Trapper" Yearbook from 1981.




That same year Kermit Stearns compiled this magazine from his monthly question and answer column in "The Trapper".



And here is the second yearbook I believe in 1982 -

Thank you, greatly appreciated.

Nice catch, as my memory says the Trapper started in 1977, 1976 was the midwest trapper with the first issue being a handout at the NTA. that year.

henpecked 1,

Your real close, if not dead on with your timeline of the MidwestTrapper/The Trapper chronology.

I'll check the collection tonight for the month/ year of that transition and post it here.

Here is the second ever Midwest Trapper magazine - Oct' 75.
..I think the first was Sept' 75.


And the last Midwest Trapper - Aug' 76


And the very first "The Trapper" Sept' 76
