WOW!!! This book is such a treat. It is a masterpiece, and something I will always treasure. Tom did a masterful job of depicting the people, who over the years, made trapping what it is today. Joe's talent make the pages works of art. I can't even begin to imagine the work it took to compile all the information that is contained between the covers of this book.
Thanks to both Tom and Joe for this wonderful book.



Here's the book plates.

Agreed i got my copy yesterday flipped through and read a couple of stories.Well done there were a few trapper's that did not get into it,but thats happens cant get everyone in there.Highly recomend every trapper buys one's,it's worth the money.

Great news! I'm glad you are enjoying the book.

Looking forward to reading this, know it had to take ALOT of hard work to put together.

I got three copies coming!

Book hog! ...

Got mine this week- planning on buying a few more for gifts. What a great addition to my library. Kudos, Mr. Miranda.

People are even hoarding books?

Been quite a while since Tom has really mentioned trapping since his hunting and guiding started !

Nice to see he has taken the time to put together this book !

Not so! All you have to do is scroll down his FB page, he has constantly talked about and promoted trapping and has done so for many, many years! He has promoted trapping more than anyone that has his standing on national outdoor tv airwaves, in my opinion.

He has tirelessly promoted trapping on his TV shows and everything he does.

One copy for me
One copy for my Dad
- One copy for my best friend and old partner Arnold

I received my copy today and let me first say, this book is a one of a kind. There is simply nothing like it in our tradition's history. Thank you Tom for your efforts and as an author myself I can't even imagine the mid-night oil necessary to put all this together. From the earliest hunter gathers until today is quite a span of time to narrate but your 385 pages is a walk through that era, with photos. maps, first hand accounts, and testimonies from trappers and supply dealers themselves. Just the gathering of information alone, is years of effort. No other way to do it the way this is laid out. Years of effort.

Thank you Tom on behalf of all of us who love to feel that crisp fall breeze on our skin and persevere when all others are home by the cozy fire!
I'll be ordering more copies for friends and family members who are cut from our same bolt of cloth.

Blessings,
Mark

Thanks Mark!

Got mine today 275/300 signed copy, looks amazing and I will enjoy looking through it many times! Thanks for putting it together Tom.

Just ordered on Joe's site. Can't wait.

Got my book today, unsolicited and as a gift. Class act Tom Miranda. Great book from a guy who has been in the game a long time and knows the trappers who have done the same. Well done!!!

I never thought I would pay that much for a book but know I will find it worth it, ordered it yesterday. I always regret not having the Trapping North American Furbearers book from Hawbaker that I bought over 50 years ago. I think my little sister damaged it, don't know where it ended up. I do still have my first Fur Fish Game Magazine that I got for Christmas 1964.

I’ve followed this gentleman since I first began trapping so many years ago, very well know about his ethics and work in the outdoors , have tried to order one of these the last couple weeks, imagine my surprise to find a copy in my mail this morning!!!
I can’t express my gratitude enough to have such an individual as this who has taken the time and effort to notice a small guy like my self for his book, its really such a special thing for me!!

I appreciate this more than mere words can express, thank you so much Tom, you are really more than just an example of an outdoorsman !!!
