Pretty cool as a dad to have him call me on his cell "Dad! I caught a beaver!! /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif (or coyote or whatever)

I remember well, calling my Dad when I harvested my first buck with a bow...and I was hardly a "kid" at the time... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

My son has caught a little of everything this season...

Our garage has been turned into a "skinning, fleshing, stretching shed" and our freezer filled with "stuff" that smells funny... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif but I'm so glad he (and I) has I chance to make these memories.

Nothing like spending the fall and winter tramping a trapline and learning about all facets of our great outdoors! /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

Exactly how I feel. I do believe is is going to be hooked on beaver trapping now. I like it better than any other trapping.
 
Congrats to him dbltree. I now how you feel. I get the same feeling seeing my boys checking and running there traps. I get as much kick out of it just hanging back and watching the boys do there thing. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif
 
And to think he was just getting into trapping a year or so ago. He's doing a fine job Paul, I'd hate to be a critter around your place! /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif
 
Fantastic! I am glad to see someone young involved in trapping. Keep up the good work.
 
Nice job, your son sure seems to have the "fever" for trapping. If he wants to he can set some traps at my place, I did have a coyote nearly run me over last time I was there, but I didn't have a gun in my hand since I didn't have a tag for that season.

That's awesome stuff Paul...great memories for sure. Those are some of my fondest with my dad. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif
 
Well done by the boy.

I have a question tho. I understand the coyote, the racoon and the beaver. But I don't understand the skunk? .....

Ha,ha! Boy does that bring back memories! My mom always hated the HUGE pile of rotting coon carcasses piled up outside the fur-shed! Makes me wonder what the neighbors must have thought sometimes. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
