Some of my best memories as a kid growing up on the farm was the time spent on my trapline. Every day after school I would run my small muskrat and mink line. My Dad would go along when he had the time and it was some of the best times we spent together. I learned a lot about animals and the art of tracking and reading sign in those early years that helped me be a better hunter when I grew up.

I made sure that my sons had the same experience that I had as a boy. How many of you take your kids trapping?

Here's a picture of me and my youngest boy with some of our catch back in the 1970's. [Linked Image]
