She must be tough! A beaver is not easy to carry!

I have still not set any traps this year with the fur markets so low. I trap for fun, but it's at least nice to make enough to pay gasoline & expenses.

Is that a Belisle 330?

Looks like you had a great day. Take every advantage of it because when the teenage years start things tend to change.

Nice to see you involving your child in the art of trapping(Check out my tag line at the bottom of my post). You will have to get her on the next trappers course so she can become your 2nd on the line. My son and I managed to haul our quota of 96 out already but don't expect to make a whole lot. Maybe enough to pay for the quads gas.

Nice to see

Congrats, I haven't set a trap in some years, I did buy my license this year and plan to reduce the number of raccoons in my area some.
