oh man well that's awesome you know you guys are so cool I love being around you too I want to go back Sean I want to go way back, like, to your dad and stuff growing up, you know, son of a government trapper and riding horses and things like that.
Were you getting out there with him a bunch, checking trap lines and things like that on horses? Or how did you guys do that back then?
Yeah, so here's the thing is... know i can i can say it now because my dad's passed and you know and my mother has too but but my they both worked their whole lives my mother worked and government trapper did not pay hardly anything especially back then i think when my dad retired he was making 700 a
anyway so they couldn't really afford daycare And they, so they didn't really have anything to do with kids, you know.
And, you know, the government had policies against it, that you're not supposed to have people in there, kids with you and all that kind of stuff.
And matter of fact, I think they made, they finally made it like a historical site or something that it can never be touched or anything like that.
And it's still sitting up in Deer Creek up in our country and where we always used to stay, not staying up there in the summer with him and, We just checked traps.
I mean, we trapped bears, I mean, bears, coyotes, and used to trap cats, but then it fell away to where they didn't want any trapping cats anymore.
So I wouldn't, if I would say, I don't care how much money you throw guys way.
