Can’t do any trapping because of knee surgery. Had a couple young guys express interest I trapping. Took them with me on a beaver complaint last year. They got the bug and I got permission on some of my ground that’s close to their house for them to trap. Trying to give them what help I can from a recliner. Love the daily updates they give me. Great to see their enthusiasm.

They will remember those days for the rest of there lives. Great that you give them a hand. When you get better you can give them some of your tip on trapping for helping out.

Great Joe glad to see the tradition being passed on. Heal quick and full.

All eyes as I showed them how to skin the raccoon they got yesterday. [Linked Image]
I was exhausted after that one coon. Long way to go in recovery.

Good to see you help the youngsters Joe. I still say you wrote one of the funniest books ever. I hope the boys catch a few possums.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Great job teaching the kids to trap and handle fur. Way to pass it on to the next generation.

Boys got a chunk this morning. There morning picture to me makes my day. Funny how our priorities change. Not that long ago you couldn’t have pried any of my trapping ground from me for any reason if if I didn’t plan on trapping it. Now it’s trying to decide what would be a good place to send them next.
