Had their final check today. One skunk, but it was trophy class, 11.9 pounds. I wish we could have trapped a little longer, but between work and the upcoming deer season we had to get out of the woods. They do still have four skunk sets on one property that will stay until the skunks quit moving, so I may show up with an update. George and Emmett about cried when I made them pull their mink sets, they really had their hearts set on hanging a mink on the wall. Hopefully we will get some trapping in after deer season, and we will most likely be marten trapping in December. Thanks to all of you that have followed along for their season, they sure like hearing all of your comments.

Great job Big Sam and kids. I really enjoyed the ride along with the kids. You and your wife are great parents

Big Sam, loved your trapline journey with the children.

Your adventures with the kids makes my day.

Ya fun watching the youngins

Just awesome.

That is great they are so into it. Fantastic pictures, especially the one on the beaver slide.

Thank you guys. I'm off to work and got flagged down by a friend, sounds like the kids get to set a few beaver traps Wednesday so hopefully we can keep things going a little bit longer.

Kids bring all the excitement.

Nothing like checking traps together before school.

Keep up the good work Sam

Heck yeah!!!

You keep them kids in the woods, we've come to expect and anticipate your posts now!

I'll keep them out there Yote. They'll drive me nuts if I don't.

Love the dirt slide. That little girl is gonna have pants that look like mine. Rips and tears. She will be next on the cover of the Furtaker!!

It's nice to see you found a sober driver Sam! I sure do enjoy hearing about their catches and seeing the pictures. I keep thinking that sooner or later your hot pink undies will show up in a picture.

I'll PM you a picture.

Awesome!!!!!!

"BLOCK THIS USER"

Make sure it's JUST him you PM, please.

well, I sure enjoy watching this post,

Thank you Trapper Dahlgren, I'll try to keep some pictures posted.

Don't worry, that's for 160s eyes only.

Good morning Big Sam. I don't post much these days but still enjoy stopping by here to read. You have a great attitude and sense of humor. Your family trapping threads are awesome and I wish you all lots of happy times and catches out on the line.

Thank you beachcomber, I appreciate it.

My pleasure. Have a great day!

that's awesome,

Good posts Big Sam, keep them kids going. Its hard to pull traps up. Just got mine up yesterday in time for the rifle deer season. Here I only have to wait a week then get back after it again. Good luck expect to see more pictures in the future.

Come on Smasho, life is about choices, new traps or new pants. And we know where your priorities are at, lol !

You got that right! Foxpaw!

Thanks Lefty. They aren't half bad looking kids. I'll l try to stear them clear of 160.

That's just too awesome !

If they listen to me they will like the chubby ones.

I'm more concerned that you'll get them chasing the ones with purple hair and piercings. Nothing wrong with a gal that has some meat on her bones.

They can chase gals like that but her Daddy better have 1,000's of acres of PRIME river bottom that is infested with B&C bucks. Pro tip: Dump her right after the peak of the rut and try to make up with her the following October.

Maybe I will let you teach them a thing or two 160. Not a bad plan.
