"He's a great kid," said his mom. "He does well in school, plays soccer and hunts and traps like crazy. It's a shame there aren't a lot of kids like him in this area."

You don't see this every day. Pictured here is Britton Scorzelli, 12, of Clay, with a coyote (his first) and a grey fox that he caught recently on his own trapping line.

His mother, Trish wrote: "The picture of Britton was taken on his dads phone...He was just so proud of his first coyote.

"Right now he traps on his grandfathers land in Clay and hits a few culverts around Clay also. He maintains his line on his own, we just supervise.

"He has been going out trapping with his grandfather in New Mexico since he was 6...has watched and learned a great deal about the sport. This past October, he went to trapping camp down south and had a great time there.

"He's a great kid, does well in school, plays soccer and hunts and traps like crazy!! It's a shame there aren't a lot of kids like him in this area!

"He is a very interesting kid and tough to keep up with "
