Reader Testimonials
Dear FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine:
I love the magazine and read it from cover to cover -- sometimes twice -- every month.
Thank you so much.

Dear FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine:
I started reading your magazine when I was a child. Now my own children are interested in the hunting and trapping that dad does. This year I had two very upset daughters when I considered not running the line since life had become a little too busy. So, under their pressure -- and my sense of responsibility to get young people into hunting and trapping -- we set a modest line behind our house. This is a small snowshoe line that helps us keep active in the cold Alaskan winters. Last night we were rewarded with our first lynxx of the season. The girls were excited and had a blast helping me skin it out before dinner.
Thanks for the years of enjoyment I've had reading your magazine. It's fun to share the excitement with children.

Dear FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine:
I have been a subscriber since the 1960s and continue to look forward to each edition. Yours is the only outdoor publication I have found with real articles about real experiences that real sportsmen and women can really relate to. Not glamour hunts or fishing trips to exotic locales that would require spending a life’s savings. I’m 57 years old and enjoy the diversity found in each issue, and my 8-year-old son reads the magazine with me cover to cover. We both love hunting, fishing, trapping, camping and just being outdoors together.

Dear FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine:
My twin brother, Patrick, and I started trapping when we were nine years old. We are 12 now, and we can't wait for the FUR-FISH-GAME magazine to come each month. We read it cover to cover. When we got permission to trap the slough across from our house, we made some of the "muskrat motels" we had read about and caught 24 muskrats with these floating sets and some 110s set in runs along the shore. We also caught a big buck mink, our first.
Another article we read in your magazine explained how to make a weasel box. We made eight of them with scrap lumber, and we caught 24 ermine. Three of them were eaten by other critters, but we were able to sell 21.

Dear FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine:
Kudos for resisting the temptation to make money off of advertisements for male enhancement pills and other questionable products. Other outdoor publications contain pages of such advertisement, which, in my estimation, has no place in the hands of young readers. In contrast, the articles in F-F-G, particularly on trapping, cannot be found elsewhere. They are instructional, enjoyable and encourage the young to take up what we fathers and grandfathers have enjoyed and learned from over the years.

Dear FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine:
When I get my magazine each month I don't set it down until I have read every article. Then I take it to the V.A. hospital and let my fellow veterans enjoy it. I have been reading F-F-G since 1965, when I was 10 years old. It's as good as ever. I love the fact there's no political bull — I hate that. Instead, you cover all the things I love about fur, fish and game.

Dear FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine:
As times get tougher I find myself constantly looking for ways to trim the budget. I must have bumbed my head! I thought of letting my subscription expire. I had to put things into perspective. You guys offer too much in each issue -- I can't afford to NOT renew! Please keep 'em coming. Entertaining, informative and written by real sportsmen we can relate to.

Dear FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine:
This is my golden anniversary (50 years) of taking F-F-G. I work in a drug and alcohol treatment facility for teenagers, and I have to cut the alcohol and tobacco ads out of the other outdoor magazines. But I can just lay your magazine on the table, because there are no alcohol or tobacco ads. Thanks for keeping it clean.
