Yesterday I had the pleasure of riding along with Craig Hilburn on his water line. I brought my little trapping buddy Gavin. He is 10 and loves everything trapping. Craig is an amazing teacher. He explains what he sees, does, and WHY. He had Gavin doing it all. With my recent knee replacement I couldn't do any trapping myself but I wanted to feed Gavins trapping fix. I also learned new things from Craig.

Kids are our future. We need to help and encourage others or the sport that we love will most certainly die.

That's cool. Great pics.

Well done! It's obvious the boy is having a blast.

I think it's more fun for me. Reminds me of when I was younger.

That is great !

Very cool

Got a couple grandkids who are going to run a small coon line with papa this winter. Good Lord willing.

Great stuff dakidsmn, that boy looks like hes having fun!

And you're absolutely right when you say, "Kids are our future. We need to help and encourage others or the sport that we love will most certainly die." I wish all trappers realized how very important that is.

Kudos to you!

So cool.

Well done and I like seeing open water.

Great Job, we all need to pass it on!

It's a special feeling to brighten the life of a youngster. You have done that with Gavin

that is great, you made my day, I love taking new people out trapping, his smile says it all.
