Nwco tips and tricks
Recipes for the animals we trap.
Legal tips/what do you if you are having people messing with your stuff. It might be a one time article but I've had to deal with it and I know I'm not the only one this year. Might be beneficial to new trappers.

I have always wondered when furs are sold where they go & how they are used to make different things
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I think fur put up would be good. maybe tough to do in an article but if it could be done I think it would be of interest to everyone. Lots of possibilities too. JODakota posted a very nice piece on washing coyotes. Something like that would be great. Also you could do more then one article per animal. Let's say beaver could have articles on clean skinning, rough skinning, several different methods of fleshing, boarding, hoops.
Lots of possibilities.
im with Bruce on this one doesn't matter how good you are at catching.... If you can't put up good fur you won't be making any $$ in this market

You guys have got some great ideas here.  :tup: :tup:
And I have a few other ideas that people have sent me.  :tup:

So with that said, I am looking for some writers.
I would like to run with some of your ideas mentioned here.
It takes a lot of time to Publish a small magazine like ours.   I can't do it all including the writing, so to incorporate some of these ideas I need you.  ;D

If you would like to just write one article that's fine too.  If you would like to be on the team and write a column for each issue that would be great too.
I'll make room or we're expand the magazine another page or two.
So who would like to become a writer with us?

Also I was thinking of maybe having a cartoonist too.  DO any of you know of someone that would like to do this?  Maybe a young person just starting out  :dunno:

I'll just add for many of us it is pretty scary to think of sitting down and writing a magazine article. That was pretty much my feeling when I was forced to write something the first time. Surprise!, it isn't that hard. If you can write a letter you can write for the magazine. I see a lot of long posts in here that are the makings for a magazine article.
Give it a try. You might just surprise yourself and find out you are more talented then you thought.

Hey "Wags" you would make a good writer for us
Lets talk ..................... call me ....................... lets do it
JC   :hello:

Like Bruce said, its not hard at a matter of fact its easier than you think
Years ago I started writing for Bob Noonan.  He called me one day and asked if I would write for him for the new magazine called WCT.  ("ME" ....Oh I can't write)  He told me this and I'll past it on to all of you.  That is what the "Editor" is there for and that is to make your article look good.  He is the one that fixes the bad spelling, grammar,  etc., etc., etc....  So give it a try, you just might find your nitch in life.  I did.
JC   :hello:
