Hello everyone. My name is Bobby. I am 10 years old. I made a journal so you can all follow along with me this trapping season. I have set a goal of snaring and trapping 20 animals this year. I’ll probably catch lynx and fox but my dad always says if you can snare a rabbit you can snare anything. Later on when we make it to our cabin I will try set wolf and wolverine snares so I hope I can make a big catch this year. We don’t have anything set yet but once my dad has some free time we will get started.
Bobby’s my name. Hunting and trapping is my game

Nice to see you on here. Are you going to let your dad come along on some of your adventures? You might be able to teach him a thing or two! Believe it or not Bobby has already taught me a thing or two. His positive attitude helps me more than you can imagine. Never seen a guy that can put a positive spin on getting skunked or only catching one animal. "One is better than none" "At least we got some fresh air" "We"ll get him next time" "Sure beats staying at home on the couch right Dad?" Hopefully by next season he can take his bravo and run his snares alone though. If not I'll be glad to help him out until he's ready.

![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/11/full-40115-238199-img_20241003_120313291.jpg) Picture from when he gave up his lunch hour to sit in on some meetings last month. He walked in and introduced him self and took a seat. One of the elders in the room recognized him as an up and coming land expert And said he will be one of the guys carrying the trapping and hunting tradition forward in the future.

Bobby , I'm glad you took the time to attend the meeting with your dad , your opinion what you have seen during your lifetime of spending time out fishing , hunting , trapping and even picking berries one of my personal favorite things to do .
I hope school is going well for you also a educated person is one who is well rounded which I think you are well on your way to become !
What type of snare lock do you like best and what size trap is you're favorite ?

I think Bobby gave up on his journal Allen. Lol After trips he just tells me to update trapperman. He's using 1/16 With cam locks and hasn't messed with traps yet. Strictly a snare man for now. I'll check with him tomorrow if he gives any thought to an update on here.

Well darn it Ryan , I hope he changes his mind I like many others are interested in what his thoughts are and how they may change as he develops as a person who harvests the many renewable resources available ha ha .
I'm glad to hear that he enjoys setting snares they're my personal favorite also !
Just remember Bobby there are some of us that haven't caught a wolverine or lynx yet or even came close and we are much older than he or have gone grizzly bear , moose or caribou hunting so we're jealous and want to hear about what you folks get to do on a regular basis . So hold your head high my young man ! Ha ha
