My boy and one of his buddies decided that they wanted to have a trapline this year so I helped them get their traps out yesterday after we slayed a few pheasants. Nothing like setting traps when its 20 degrees to break a kid in to trapping. Pretty sure both of them were having second thoughts by dark yesterday when the last trap went in the ground. This morning that was all forgotten as they got ready to do their first check - I tried to tell them that the first check was usually not the best one but they had visions of 50% catch rates on day one. As it was, they were both pretty thrilled with this young male coyote that they picked up.
