Anticipation
« on: December 27, 2014, 05:10:43 AM »
 ;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)

Thats Great.  Congratulations to all involved.  I remember my first two.  Leglifter showed me the ropes and I will never forget it.
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!
