Emmett wanted to help with a nuisance beaver job. Put in two footholds last night, picked up one beaver today. Emmett managed to pull up the drowning rod and get the beaver out of the 44 on his own. After that he worked on getting a hole in the dam inside the culvert while I slipped a couple cage traps in the other end. He's coming along pretty good.

That kid is certainly headed in the right direction in life. Good on you!

Thanks guys.
160, I'm glad you saw this, saved me a text. Emmett wanted to make sure that Uncle Rob saw what he got.

I can't give you ( and your obviously blind bride) enough credit. The world needs more kids raised like yours. They are our future.

Keep up the great work Sam. Making memories and raising great kids at the same time. That is what it's all about.

You're sure raising those boys right. They'll grow into great men. Good work.

Good job Sam. You’re doing it right.


Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.

That's what you get when a Father is in the picture.

Great Job Sam.

Also...does Minnesota have a trapping course to get a trapping license ?

My son got his license when he was 10.

Thank you everyone.

Nessy, he doesn't need a license yet. I believe he has to pass the trapping course and get a license when he's 12. I could be wrong on the age.
