Boys.... Well boys are mainly into poop, pee, and hunting. If you can get your hands on a scat pamphlet to show the difference between coon poop and coyote poop.

Don't be surprised at the questions they can come up with.

If parents are going to be present, the questions will get more in depth. The adult may want to ask a question, but are too embarrassed to ask. So they'll get the kid to ask it. You'll figure it out real quick when they ask their question.



Agreed!

Be prepared for some parent questions as well. Try to not get into the too defensives trap.


Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

Good advice . I’m blessed because their current teacher is involved in outdoors activities and imparts these to his class …so it’s a good group I hope!

Outstanding Smash! I know you’ll do fine and they will learn a lot. Might even recruit a few new trappers.

I've done this before years ago with even younger kids, they all seemed to love it.
