Just acquired this book, or more actually a compendium of Craig O'Gorman's articles and writings over the years. Subtitle is: 1970s to Present Day History of Original & Vintage Unknown Stories, Articles, & Memorabilia. Publish date of April 2025. For a multi year period Craig had his own Hall of Fame and recognized various trappers that were well known and some that would have been lost in the dustbin of history. Really enjoyed reading all of those. Each edition is individually numbered 1 to 250 so it will be very collectable. A great read if you enjoy some of the history of trapping and some of the personalities involved, along with Craig's trapping philosophy.

How to get a copy?

You need to call and suggest that title.

Dana said this is all they are going to print. I got one and enjoy it also. Craig is a one of a kind. I can just hear his voice when I'm reading it. Liked the story about their wedding also. It's a lot of reading and good informaiton too.


Just passin through

You hit the nail on the head Gerald, its a great read and I throughly enjoyed it as well. His educational matierials, methods, & sound advice helped shape me & my career as a trapper. Craig set the standard for excellance in the trapping world. He is a man that never stopped progessing and learning, with continued education and progression on methods, equipment, & being the best you can be as a trapper. He poured more into evolving trapping as a whole than any other person. Everything he brought to the industry set the trend for all to follow. They offered and still offer quality products & educational materials that trappers can depend on. He & Dana are the epitome of a true husband & wife team. Real role models. Dana is an expert lure maker, marketer, and advertiser! She developed one heck of a catelog!

Craig is the most copied & plagarised trapper to ever live. Most of the one hit wonders that continually come and go from the scene, copy his books and videos. Each and Every person that has ever talked crap about him are jealous of his success and notoriety, plain and simple. No man alive knows more about doing ADC coyote work, as a whole,than him. He never turned on a computer and never had any interest in learning how, as you cant kill a coyote on the computer, he said!

He deserves a ton of credit from myself, and I will give him the credit he deserves from everybody else that copied him, but never gave him any!

Long Live the King of Coyote Killers, Craig O’gorman.

You are exactly right KSlongliner Thank you for saying that When I took lessons from O’Gorman in 1982 plus a refresher and a dorn dog it turned out to be some of the best money I ever spent I’m thankful I got to see him again in Chadron Nebraska last fall and thank him in person again
