Did she stop twisting your arm after you said it?

ADCofWMt must have seen a family picture. I'm the wimp standing on the stool.

Welcome Mousie, You are a special lady to be able to trap like you do. You have the special touch and finesse that no man will ever have.

welcome aboard Mousie We need more woman in the field. My Daughter 30 years old with 2 kids and maybe 100 pounds wet came to me and said Dad kids are in school full time so I will be working for you again LOL the thing is, she can make many look bad, when it comes to catchin coon and ground hogs LOL now if I could find a ladder that she can lift LOL Good luck to you and stay positive, you know how old men can be LOL Glad I am not old lol

girls rule ! lol

Mousie, I'm serious when I say the best I've ever known in this field was a tiny little ninety pound wonder. She won't amaze you with biology or her trapping skills but she could flat out sell the work. Though since she didn't do ladders she was the best at catching squirrels on the ground and on fences and decks, she adapted and did what she had to do.

She could say things to the wives who are the ones who call us that I'd be shot for and I've seen her back down the biggest of men who doubted her.

More than once when she heard the wife say "the husband said he'd take care of that" I've heard reply "Well, when is he going to get off his lazy arse and do it".
I've heard her tell a wife when the wife recounts some reason the husband can't, He's a P---y" and then go grab the snake or bat or whatever it was he was afraid of.
Just plain blunt talking and connecting with the wives that call us plus a genuine concern for her people made her the best I've known. She's been retired nearly five years now and I gained a good many of her people and still to this day am asked about her.

I had one old guy that was practically in tears when I showed up instead of my daughter. ( Of course, now I'm that old guy and I guess I would cry too )

Viva Victoria !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Howdy Mousie nice to have you here. There is alot of experience shared collectively here with our select group. Its always a positive thing when we have young men and women taking an interest in our field.

You have a top notch mentor with many skills at your side to teach and guide you in the ways of many things if you are willing to learn. The best to you..

big shoes to fill no doubt.

'In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by her trade
And she carries the reminders
of ev'ry glove that layed her down
or cut her 'till she cried out
in her anger and her shame
"I am leaving. I am leaving..."
But the fighter still remains...'
