Iam doing an article on Bill Hoffman it was written in his town’s history that he wrote for FFG and other trapping publications from 1928- to the 1970s yet when I look through older ffg I do not see anything from him.
He was supposed to be doing the trapline or question box. Iam thinking the towns history book is wrong and that maybe he worked for a different trapping publication. Iam fairly sure he was a big friend to EJ Dailey and helped him launch some of Daileys early magazines.
Just wondering if anyone knows anymore seen Bill Hoffmans adds or columns?

Mink I Love who is on this forum sold a 1928 FFG magazine last year that listed Bill Hoffman as a writer.

Ttt

Looked at a lot of fur fish game.
20s 30s 40s 60s an 70s.
Dont have many from the 50s .
No bill hoffman.
Did find some walter l Arnold in 1947.
Going to read his trapline story..

I could be mistaken, but I believe that the drawing that was at the head of the Trapline section was by Bill Hoffman. It was used by FFG for many years.

Cool sets
You are correct...
Had to use a magnifying glass to see it just under the fox...

I was told atleast two or three different art works in ffg are related to Hoffman
He also had ties to Dailey and the magazines EJ was putting out somehow.

I don’t know if the was American trapper or North American trapper or trappers digest but they where communicating a lot in the 20s and 30s and maybe even beyond.
