Any of our well experienced trappers remember these? I know a lot of our fine members were providing for our freedom in Vietnam during that time period of these publications 1967-1971
I picked them up at a yard sale with other vintage Fur Fish & Game and Fur Taker of America bulletins in NW Wisconsin, all of them were addressed to Leo Hoeft, bought at his estate auction and now being resold. Definitely interesting to compare and contrast fur prices and issues challenging the trapping community, a lot of which hasn’t changed.

I have seen a few copies that are part of the history of the WTA and trapping. I was not living in the area I am now when these were published or trapping. Roy lived in Sheboygan WI after retirement and I had the pleasure to meet him twice while trapping his fox line on two farms not far from me. He was past president of the WTA also. He retired from US secret service work.

If you decide to sell those please let me know. The son of a good friend collects stuff from Leo Hoeft.
