It was out of NE back then it was the Wall Street Journal of the day for trappers back in the 70s.

I was on the cover, in 77 or 78 sitting on a beaver lodge reading a Copy of "The Trapper" I was 13 years old. I was looking at a diagram of a pole set. My 7th grade science teacher and trapping mentor Benny Lisenbee, took my picture. I have but 1 cover page and it is stuck in a photo album. Benny also won a raffle at a NTA convention in Clearfield PA. in I think 77 prize was a 1978 red Jeep CJ5, I stood next to him, and rode home to Mi with him in it. His wife drove the truck home. I would pay $$ for another copy.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Feedinggrounds, I got box's and box's of the old Trapper magazine's. Not really exactly sure where they are right now in all my mess but if you knew the month/year ive probably got it, mine go all the way back '77. Greatest trapping magazine there ever was, mostly because EVERYONE was trapping back then so they had access to tons of articles about everything from all over the place on a monthly basis.
Yep, it started out as the Midwest Trapper by Chuck Spearman in NE. and quickly turned into a monster as demand for it was off the charts. Spent many a night either going with Charlie Dobbins in a canoe on a beaver trapline or Wayne Negus in the Cascade's trapping marten on snow shoes. Good times back then.
Not my circus, not my clowns.

That’s what got me going trapping I picked up a mail in card for the Trapper at a bait shop when we were drowning worms in IL, it just exploded from there. Miranda and I moved to the UP the same year lived about 10 miles apart in different time zones that was a lot of your time or my time. LOL

At one time the trapper was an excellent magazine that had some tremendous trappers, well known and some not so well known.
