Youth are the future of the Sport ! She has spent time in my pickup tending traps since the age of 6 months. She understands it takes an investment of time , materials and energy to profit. She will correct any adult who portrays trapping in a negative light. She was raised a trapper in a rural community never ashamed to be that girl !

Take a kid trapping !

That's awesome!

Youth

Nice

Thanks for sharing. I agree, if we don’t do a better job of recruiting, the sport will die.

That's super 2poor! We need more like that young lady and folks like yourself to mentor them!!!

Great pics.
I wouldnt refer to trapping as a sport though,it has negative connotations for a commercial activity and gives the antis ammunition.

seems to me I have seen her on a mag cover a few years ago.

looks like the broken tail light was fixed

Great pics, love seeing her trapping.

I agree it’s a poor habit !

I had to laugh at the picture with the chest waders- thats how they fit me...I can barely walk in the darn things.

Very good, she is getting it done.

Outstanding

Nice photos. Looks like you've got some mighty fine helpers!

Awesome Cory. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome!

This is great, I love to see posts like this. Thanks for taking the time to share with us all.

Noted, I will refrain from using that language in the future. It is more of a necessary control of varmints for me as I have already come to the realization that I will never recoup the expense. So not a business per se. it takes all of us to make this work.

Excellent! Looks like she's hooked! Bravo!

Nice! I’m with Boco on the sport thing. I always cringe when I hear “recreational” trapping or it referred to as a sport. I was surveyed by our Fish and Wildlfe dept about last year’s beaver take and one of the questions was whether my take was damage control or recreational. I said neither, it was commercial fur harvest.
