Yes nothing better than having the future outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen with you when they get a first of anything, we had a 13
year old with us sunday, who got a nice mulie as well, he was excited to say the least, he got his first deer ever last year,a whitetail 4 point, good times all arround,it will get better with experience, and with muskrats an easy target, the numbers will grow, if you have good rat habitat arround you,Happy trapping to you and young man, Peter
