Muskrat OP trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Wisconsin	Like sliding on an old, comfy pair of slippers, I look forward to each issue that arrives in the mailbox monthly. Most stories don't apply to me, but I enjoy reading them all. I save each chapter of the continuing stories until I have the full "book", then sit down some evening and read them all. I see there's a new chapter in this one This magazine was about all I had back in the 60s. No trapper ed, no you tube videos, just sneaking peeks at others' sets and making it up as I went. Wrote two articles and had them published, both in the late 80s I believe. Received a hundred dollars for the first one. Was neat to see the by line Anyway, here's to FFG and may they last another hundred years. Lifetime member of WTA and NTA

I too open each new copy with the anticipation of a young boy again. This one had some outstanding articles about both past and present times. Thankyou FFG!! Walt legge

beaverpeeler trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Oregon	Back in the early 70's I was checking out the Fur-Fish-Game's out of my school library and drooling over the market reports. I remember reading an article about how to catch beaver and followed the instructions and caught two out of three traps my first night. Hooked! My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

By the time a new FF&G could be delivered I had read the last one cover to cover 3 or 4 times. What"s good for me may not be good for the weak minded. Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

camlock trapper Joined: Jun 2018 White House, TN	i had seen some advertisements in Sports A Field Magazine for FFG. Also E.J. Daily lures, Butcher lures .etc. It was around 1976 when I subscribed to the magazine. A Great magazine for the realistic and practical outdoorsman. I started trapping using methods I had read about in the articles written by other trappers. I was 14 years old at the time.

How cool to be published in the 100 year anniversary issue! The article turned out better than I thought it would, and now it makes me want to do it again. The article is titled "Go First Class At Least Once", and I'm pretty proud of it. Thanks, Jim
