If you start your child out in the outdoors you will have some very memorable days. Start the kids out young before they reach 10. Show them some raccoon hats. Explain the benefits of trapping to them. Tell them that what they make on selling the fur is their money.
Kids have the energy to go for miles.
Most kids love to be out with Dad in the woods. It doesn't matter if your child is a boy or girl. They will have thousands of questions for you. Have them read my trapping articles. Get them involved in every step, from preparing the traps, to scouting for fur, to running the traps, to skinning the animals.
