Elite… way past that stage brother. These are four of my seven grandkids, with another one on the way. But I will mention that for many years I had to force my daughters to come out to the trapline on weekends. Being young girls of 12-15 they prefered to stay in town but Dad insisted. They always had fun once they got out there, and now today they are all eager to come out with their families and happy for us to take their kids out. Like the bible says, "Bring up a child in the way they should grow and they will not depart from it"

It is essential that those of us who love the land share that with our next generation. While it seems that most humans have an appreciation of nature very few seem to have a connection any more. They get their fix virtually instead of doing. Obviously not an issue with this crew but we don't represent the average citizen any more. Here in Alberta everyone figures we are a province of cowboys and farmers when the reality is over 80% live in cities and we are the most urbanized province in Canada.

I'm doing my part to keep it wild. Here's my latest crop learning the way of the 22 !

Pretty cool Brian You must be one proud grandpa!
