I remember when Tom used to come to our MI conventions when he was just getting started in the trapping game. Great guy.
What years did that take place? Was that SMTA?

In the early 80's he trapped both Ohio and Michigan U.P. and there was NO NONRESIDINT allowed then.
Zone 2 did its own investigation on him and he left for S. Dakota shortly after. Originally an Ohio resident.
Just wanted to make it clear.

I still re-read toms competition line coyote book before every season. Well that one and a few others too but his is one I pick regularly before each season. That's pretty cool yiu stopped by his place and thank you for sharing the pics Mark. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

He had a great outdoor show IIRC. One of the better ones on TV.

A "blast from the past!" photo I recently came upon that Tom still had! I used a bunch of Tom Miranda lure in the early 1980's, as well as Ray Milligan's smells, and I sent Tom a testimonial photo in 1981, my Junior year in college. I paid for my junior AND senior year in CASH with the 163 red fox and 78 mink I caught that year. I did not sleep in 1981. School + trapping only! Thanks Tom for saving what I don't even have anymore. Blessings, Mark

Tom's Fur-Fish-Game Video's are great! No B/S no bragging. Wish I had those back in the 1960's! I would have been a much better trapper! Nobody does trapping videos like Tom. Nobody. I learned all I know about editing from him, and he eagerly taught a competitor and friend (me). That's speaks volumes about Tom in my humble opinion. Tom still helps hunters and trappers be the best they can be, as long as you bring the hard work ethic. Here's Tom, myself, and Paul Voz in the 1990's filming archery deer hunts. Who knows what state as we went to a bunch.

LL, I sold furs in 1981 in Gladwin, MI for $11,700. I was king of the world for a day, but I can't describe the work that I put in that year, what with grad studies and trapping. I darned near killed myself twice that season, falling asleep while I was driving to check traps, and running my Chevy into the ditch and back out.
Those were special times, that I'm sure many of us have. Young and dumb was I. But I always attempted to outwork the competition in three game zones during the fur boom, so Tom's "Competition Line" lures always had a brand that appealed to what I was up against.
