Jerry loves those old trapping publications. He had a ton of em.
He says good solid nfo without a that pink trap crap.
He doesn't go for that stuff much..
He's pretty much no nonsense and wants to learn all th useful info he can from a solid publication..
He said the publications have sure changed over the years.
It's amazing how much things fluctuate with the market
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

The early days of "The Trapper" and "The Trapper & Predator Caller" magazines had some awesome issues. They were the good ole days.

I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I also liked the other departments,Wiley Carroll s writing took some getting used to,but once you got on to it it was interesting as all get out.George Wacha's Putting by and making do was interesting too,maybe some trapping,maybe some wine making,maybe gardening,maybe bee keeping,you never knew from month to month but if you were into self sufficiency you looked forward to his column.It was a different time,that's for sure

I wanted the lifetime from the beginning but could not. Later in life I won a rifle at state banquet and had option to take lifer instead. I did not hesitate to take the membership. No great benefit or bragging rights, just knowing I got what I wanted. I still pay someones annual every year. There is poly ticks in everything. I learned to let it roll off as it continues whether I am there or not. I learned a LOT from some those elders, not just trapping.
Oh and I read every word in the old rags. That is way cool you still have all yours.

I remember the Dallas saga, but not who wrote it. Those might have value now or later.
Great topic 151.

Parker Dozier wrote the piece.It was later made into a book. I always thought it was crazy Parker wound up part of the whole Clinton Whitewater scandel. Seems the Clinton's have been Teflon a LONG time...
