Free labour! It's awesome you're having the kiddos help out.

No better outdoor spring activity for kids than going muskrat trapping. This is an animal that they can catch with ease, also can skin by themselves and put up. Then they have pelts they did all by themselves, garners much interest, ownership and pride in their product, and they can grow into the big game fur creatures when they are ready.

So hand them the coyote pile and tell them they have to skin and flesh them??? They all over that I’m sure. Or go slog around in the slough and have a bunch of fun catching, then putting up the little manageable creatures. Probly gramps is the only one who cares about the money??? 😉

Oh wait, I forgot, you getting rich on coyotes currently! 😆
