;D Sitting here like a little kid ;) waiting for 1st light. ;D Went yesterday with my friend and his daughter and observed the young lady (10) making sets to catch her 1st flat tail muskrat on steroids ::) She did it all except the setting of the 330 :P which this old guy isn't going to play with either :( :( Picked the spots made the castor mounds,etc.. froze her feet, just like her Uncle Paul.. :o...lol...Anyway we are all going momentarily, my camera will be in hand ;D ;D... while waiting for dear old Dad to catch up >:( we had a wow moment :) crouched down in the swamp grass, we had a beaver swim by us at close range,awesome! ;D ;D.....We finished off the morning with a few Dp's and a mink set. Missy dropped her glove in the creek and Dad was frowning upon her... ;D..I told her no worries ;) all trappers drop their gloves and sometimes themselves in the crick :P :P the original polar bear club.. :'( :'( :'(........... 8)

;D I haven't checked today yet, but I believe her and dad are going to pull today.... :(....I think she is very satisfied with her effort to get 1, to tan.... ;D Dad I think is going to spring to tan 2 of them ;D.....Two were a dark chestnut color and one was more reddish... :) Next on her list, is a Gray Fox ;D If I was a Gray Fox I would be dyeing my fur, right about now......;D ;D ;D..... 8)
