As an early Christmas present for the boys dad bought them both their own live traps. They were so excited that they tried it out on my cat Matt. The bait...spaghetti noodles. Yes, he fell for it. My cat will probably eat anything. He even fell asleep in the trap the SECOND time he got caught. I'm somewhat disappointed with him.
     So, with bb gun in hand the boys set out to our small valley where they are expecting to capture a mink that has been out there. (Our friendly wild life services guy told us that indeed, mink tracks are near our property, yikes!) I'm not so sure they will catch anything but cats hoping for a bite of dog food that was used as bait. But it's the fun of the hunt that brings winter entertainment.






Here's something Teagan caught...kidding, it's just sweet little Aliviah June! She is too chubby for the live trap!
