Fur Fish Game

[SweetWilliam]

I just put a subscription in for Fur Fish Game magazine.
I use to get it about 30yrs. ago when I was kid & trapping.
I always enjoyed it & the covers alone will be a nice addition to the coffee table.

If you look in it,,, they are offering a new book. It's a compilation of "Tips" on how to do things. A neat book.
FF&G is a good magazine, and has been around a while.

Contender I was just down your way a couple weeks ago. My better half's dad lives in Lenoir. Then from there we went to Cullowhee & visited her daughter. She's going to school there. We went into Cheerokee one day & on our way home we stoped in Gattlinburg for a day. All so we went up to Blowing Rock for some shopping & drove the parkway sight seeing. A couple years ago we went up to Grandfather Mountain.
I love it down there.

And I guess we went down at the perfect time cause I see some of the park roads are closed.

Some of the best hunting & fishing tricks I ever learned was when I was a kid, sitting in the barber shop waiting my turn, reading copies of Fur Fish & Game

Great magazine, I've been a loyal subscriber for many, many, years. The trapping stories remind me of my youth adventures running a trapline before school.

Oh Yeah; Hardings Magazine, Fur Fish and Game.

Does it still come out of Columbus, Ohio?

:wink: Wow FF&G is still in business? I loved it as a country boy growing up in rural Ohio. It was "Hardings Magazine" Warren G. Harding was either the founder or one of the early publishers. He was a newspaper man and publisher. I once met a man in Marion,Ohio who was the editor of one of Harding's original newspapers and he claimed he had had Harding's old office and worked at the same desk Harding did. I remember it as a cool magazine filled with a lot of woodscraft and low budget tips a country boy could use. Thanks for the post!

I have subscribed to FF&G for over 50 years. It is also on line if you care to call it up on the Internet.

Another guy here who subscribed to FF&G back when I was in high school and jr. high.
In 1987, I bought a used mobile home that had been owned by a game warden. When moving in, I was delighted to find a big box of FF&G back issues in the shed.

My grandfather was a subscriber for years, as far back as I can recall. I remember when I was a kid going to his house and looking through them. Then when I was a teenager he renewed a subscription for me every year for Christmas. I have had a subscription to them for myself for at least the last ten years. For the last three or four years I have gotten a subscription for my nephew for Christmas and one for my brother in law and his son who share theirs they get every month. I still have the last ten years or so here at the house so that when my son gets older he can start looking at them. It was also the first magazine I ever wrote for that paid me as a freelance writer. It was something to write for something I have been reading for so long. I have a few 80's issues that were my grandfathers and even a couple 50's and somewhere I have a few Hunter Trader Trapper issues, which later became Fur-Fish-Game magazine. It's the one magazine I have gotten and read consistently over the years.

Close but not Warren G. Harding; Arthur R. Harding was the founder. http://www.furfishgame.com/about_ffg/history.php

Warren Harding was the editor ( and owner?) as you say of a Newspaper in Marion. OH. I believe it was the Marion Star but my memory may be faulty. My grandparents and Aunts lived in Marion and I used to visit every year.
