'Yup A. R. founded the Hunter-Trader-Trapper magazine in 1900 and the Fur-Fish-Game in 1925. The magazine was carried on by his Son A. V. and Daughter Louise. A. V. used to come to our house quite often back when I was a kid to go on the trapline with my Dad. Louise lived to an old age and run the magazine right up to recent years. Last I heard a Grandson took over but don't know where they stand now. Ace

A. R.s books are still well worth reading if you can find a copy.
