Trapper envy

Everyone gets the wrong mail sometimes. Postal workers are humans, after all. Maybe you’ve received someone’s college alumni newsletter or some kind of notice from a cell phone company. You just put it back in the box and assume that the matter is corrected.

Well, in northern Minnesota you get some different kinds of mistaken mail. For instance, on Friday we accidentally recieved the latest edition of “The Trapper and Predator Caller” magazine. The picture shows last month’s edition. The one we got by mistake is the April edition that encourages readers to befriend a bow fisherman to get top notch trapper bait. Yes, that would be fishing with a bow and arrow. The article is titled “Carp Diem.” This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time and it’s going to be hard to say goodbye when the mail comes tomorrow.

  1. Didn’t know there was such a magazine…your description screams out to the 3 men in this house. I lived with a large taxidermy mount of a trapped fisher going after a porcupine for years!! I deserve a round of applause for that. Thanks for the great info.

  2. You’re welcome! I spent some time picturing the house where that magazine will go. I want to see it someday.
