We had just three in attendance, though many told me beforehand that they wouldn't be able to make it. We spent the time logging on to Trapperman and setting up accounts, and then we moved on to snare building 101!
And then, today (Friday) was the day - even though there were multiple activities that kids were out on, and our afternoon was slightly shortened by other constraints, I was able to get out in the afternoon with three of the students and get things underway. Interestingly, these three were a DIFFERENT three than Wednesday's group.... :P
As stated, we just had the afternoon to find and set one location - but what an afternoon of Science Class!! Can it get any better!?!!?!
We selected a little willow choked-flat on the edge of the lake behind the village for a bait pile snare set-up. LOTS of fox sign in the area and its proximity to the dump, I feel, almost ensures success.
This set-up was small, with us only setting three snares, but they fenced things up nicely and chose our spot well, and I think they are going to connect. We'll see...
