My son (13 yrs old) and I took the trappers course a few months ago. This past Friday, we had our first chance to get out trapping. We had planned on opening day deer hunting, but a neighbour had nuisance beavers he was willing to give us a shot at.
We ended up getting a beaver (big one!) and a muskrat. Biggest smile I have seen on my son's face in a long time. We didn't do a great job skinning the beaver, but we learned a bunch and are hooked on doing more of it.
