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.

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!

Snares are made. Just have to add haywire and wait a little longer until lynx and fox are prime. Not much longer now

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.

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.
