NEW MASTER TRAPPERS BOOK BY TOM MIRANDA - 11/17/20 12:28 AM

Hey Trapperman!

So you all know I don't post on here much..
However, That doesn't mean I don't come on here..

That said, I am assuming there will be some chat soon about my new book Master Trappers.
& I want to set the record straight.
I wrote the book as a tribute to the trappers who I look up to. The trappers who I read as a young boy and the trappers who
molded my life over so many years to be an outdoorsman, trapper and hunter.

Trappers I worked with, taught, taught me. Men well known and not so well known. Looked up to and maybe not so much.
But men and ideals that molded my life from a young age to be a trapper, woodsman & outdoorsman
and helped me grow as a student to an instructor. as a novice to a professional.

The book isn't a who's who of famous trappers- although famous trappers are in it.
Is every famous trapper in it? No.
Is everyone in it a Master Trapper? Yes.
Are there more Master Trappers than are in my book? Of course.

The book was a passion project. And in my opinion needed in our industry at a time when cancel culture wants to burn & ban everything.
This book is a tribute to trappers and our trapping heritage by a trapper. Nothing more... nothing less.
It's an accurate history of my life as a trapper and the trappers who so influenced my life.

Honestly, I don't think one trapper could read this book cover to cover and not close the book with a nod & smile on their face.
Master Trappers is the essence of why we all started trapping and continue to do it.

My hope is that everyone who pages thru this book, see's themself at some point in their life.
Yes, my life has been one in a million. And this book is a tribute to trapping and the trappers who helped make it so.

Thank you for listening & best wishes to all on Trapperman.

Kindest Regards,
Tom Miranda

Looking forward to it, already put the hint out there for a Christmas gift . My wife never knows what to get me.
She never know it till our trip to nevada convention a few years back that I took your trapping course back in the 80's.
It also worked out that you donated a signed trap, coyote book and hat to the auction and I now have it.
Thanks for what you have done for all in trapping.

Cant wait for mine also. Tom's coyote book really helped get a hold of the coyotes back when I started trapping in my early 20's

Tom does nothing half way he’s all in, his work ethic is unreal when he’s working on a project he’s unstoppable. He has a great respect and knowledge of the trappers that made trapping what it is now. The dedication he had at such a early age to trapping really stood out to me it’s what people look for when seeking knowledge his life revolved around the sport of trapping.

Tom, I don't have the book yet though I suspect based on the packages that arrived today it will be under the tree. My wife is inpatient thankfully and she had ordered 2 of the hooded vintage trapper sweatshirts, one for her one for me, best early Christmas present! Please pass along my thanks to Mr. Joe Goodman for the great art work!

#2 son had one sent from Tom for a Christmas present, so now I have one too.

I have an Alaska Master Guide License, maybe I will be a Master Trapper in time for the next edition!

This is an incredibly well put-together book; as a writer myself and former editor, I can't imagine how daunting a task this must have seemed at times in the midst of producing this... but the result is well worth the massive undertaking this surely must have been!

You have produced a book for the ages, and it does indeed come at a most-needed time in the history of our craft... thank you Tom for this incredible book! I guarantee you it will be passed down to future generations of Staggs men. By the way -- that's an outstanding picture on the top of page 367... wink

I also received a signed copy of "Master Trappers" as a Christmas gift from my wife. Great looking book with lots of photos and the Joe Goodman illustrations are top notch - looking forward to reading. Had to be quite an undertaking by everyone involved putting this work together.

Tom is the real deal. I can go back to when he wrote "questions and answers" in a magazine. I wrote Tom a few questions and he had the integrity to personally send me and answer to said questions. I may be older than Tom and perhaps trapped longer but it goes to show that there are men like Tom who will take the time to answer question's to all trappers. Nothing but respect for Tom. Best of luck on your book.

Because you don't pay any attention to the topics that are stuck to the top of the page. This one was tacked to the top of the page for over a month.
