Funny, when I pulled it out of the mail box I thought the same thing. I even sent a pic to a buddy as we were just talking about hooping beaver pelts that day. FFG is the best all around outdoorsman's magazine; no fluff or BS, minimal ads, great articles. I used to get outdoor life and fields and streams decades ago, but now it's a over the top, ad filled (booze and tobacco) magazine made for 20 something hipsters with designer camo and jacked on energy drinks. Picked one up a few years back in a doctor office, one article title was " pimp my tree stand " . Sad

Love the pic but the ugly scab for me was the hat. I reacted just like Boco.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

My FFG subscription was originally started in 1976 by then 7th grade science teacher, trapping mentor Benny Ray Lisenbee, He was also a member of the big brother program for troubled youth. I had troubles. I continue that subscription unbroken ever, to this day.

Hat must have been a real thing, found this picture of what I assume to be a reenactor.

Well there ya go! Maybe the artist knew more than most were giving him credit for knowing.
I think the artwork is great.

IT IS FOR SURE THE REAL THING. IF YOU CAN FIND SOME ART WORK THAT A. J. MILLER DID AT THE 1837 ROCKY MOUNTAIN RENDEZVOUS YOU WILL FIND MANY EXAMPLES OF THIS TYPE OF HAT. A. J. MILLER WAS BROUGHT ALONG TO RECORD THE EVENTS OF THE HUNTING TRIP THAT WILLIAM STEWART TOOK WITH THE FUR TRADE CARAVAN THAT YEAR. STEWART MADE SEVERAL SUCH TRIPS WEST WITH THE MOUNTAIN MEN. THIS IS THE ONLY EYE-WITNESS ACCOUNT IN PICTURES OF AN ACTUAL RENDEZVOUS. DAVID WRIGHT, WHO PAINTED THE FF&G COVER IS PROBABLY THE BEST ARTIST THAT WE HAVE THAT DOES ACCURATE PAINTING'S OF THE PIONEER ERA IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

The first Batman prototype hat so it fits over the pointy ears. I think in those days it was function over fashion. LOL
