Good job

Get that young person to post the link for you

Always rewarding.

Click the little button.

Yeah. Unfortunately my camera takes 32megabit pictures and the upload limit is 4mb. Just copy and paste the link. Really not that hard.

Except for the fact that that still doesn't work.

But good on you for taking a youngun trapping.

Take a screenshot of the pic and that will downsize it so it will fit. That was what I was told to do when I couldn't post pics because they were too big... And it worked.

Hope this works.

Thanks for tip of screenshotting.

Cool pic. I don't even remember my very first coon, but I remember well an early coon. I didn't know much about trapping. But I wanted to trap. I didn't have a creek on my grandparents land but there was a shallow ditch that had water most of the year. But, I didn't know a thing about coon sets like pockets, or dirt holes. I had a basic understanding of cubbies but had had no luck with them. But I did know coons and knew where coons ran and so I blind set for them. And one day I had a toenail in one of my traps. I became obsessed. I thought if I could catch Ol 4 toes, well, I'd be a real trapper then. I'd by then obtained Hawbakers trapping book and so started making pockets and dirtholes in locations where those sets have never been made before or since, lol. I caught a rare possum, but no coons at all let alone 4-toed ones. Every coon trail on the 63 acres we owned at at least 3 traps set blind in them.

And then one day it happened. We hunted pheasant that morning. Everyone else went home afterwards, but I went on to check my traps. I think I was 9 years old. And in the very same trap that caught the toenail, there was a coon. After dispatching it I hurriedly rolled it over and sure enough.... only 4 toes. I was a real trapper then, lol.

I imagine he'll always remember his first coon. I don't remember my first coon or possum, but I think that's because I was so young and also in pursuit of fox when I caught them. But all the other firsts I vividly remember. Like several years later when I caught my first mink and wasn't even sure what it was. I thought it might be a mink. My grandfather confirmed it was, lol.

Thank you for helping that boy to make memories he'll always carry with him.

that is great, I remember my first coon,

Perfect!

Congratulations
