Salmon_Run Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Last weekend I experienced the greatest joy a parent can have; a deep appreciation for your child and time together afield. I have a 10 year old stepson that has some struggles at time. He is a good boy and works daily to overcome his disability. Last weekend he and I entered the trapping world together. We were at our camp and put out our coyote sets together. The greatest joy was watching him all dressed in his camo rubber boots, red and black plaid jacket and orange knit hat. He had a smile bigger than life and was filled with anticipation and endless questions. After watching and helping me set about a dozen he politely asked if he could make a set by himself if I set the trap for him. I watched as he dug, put in an anchor, baited and covered the trap. It was a pure joy to see him actively working hard to be so careful and cautious with his own scent. Unfortunately overnight we had that lake effect blizzard and all our traps became deeply buried. He was mildly disappointed but in great spirits and definitely looking forward to more trapping. Happy and Safe Holidays !!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFA-ADK Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I second that awesomeness! Nothing like teaching a kid about the outdoors! The outdoors gives us direction and reconnects us to nature, nothing more pure than that! Hats off to you! Keep up the good work, I hope you get to trap some yotes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
