My son Hunter-trapper graduates this spring and it looks like he,s got a job in Yellowstone for the summer.Time sure flies huh?We got to spend another weekend at the cabin last weekend.Set some beaver traps and he got his first beaver (45 lbs.)Packed in Saturday night and spent a gorgeous night in the north mountains.Sat around THE Campfire and had a great father -son chat while eating backstraps from the beaver we caught-Tasty.Take time with your kids because before you know it they will be grown and gone.Have a fantastic day.Lloyd

I wish I were going to Yellowstone this summer. I envy your adventure, HT and can relate to your sense of loss, Lloyd. They do grow up quickly. Now it is time for all your training to be put to use. Soon, the student will be teaching the teacher!  8)

Don't tell me that guys!  I feel I still have lots of time with my boys being 4 and 6.  But I know it will zip by.  I'm a big softy when it comes to them, but they don't walk on me! Hopefully soon we will be enjoying nights out camping and days shooting bows at stuff

H/T:  Congrats on the Yellowstone Job.  Do you know where you will be working?  Hope you get some time to explore the back country!  I used to guide pack trips in the Lamar and one of those got me a scholarship to the University of Wyoming.  My brother died there and if you want I can bring the boat and we can spend some time on the lake.  Lots of artifacts!  Hawk and his family know the Park well and I can bring Tyler along for some jet boating on the lake.  The tourists are a pain and the backpackers drive you crazy, but you can get away from it all.  Can show you some places to go where fish are plentiful, animals everywhere (griz), and high lonesome is the order of the day.  The cutthroat in the big lake are all but gone, but still some good fishing in the back country.  A/Ho   Joe
