I pay way to much money to fail on purpose, but yeah tell him this is the place to trap and attend school, if you manage your schedule right like i did it will give you plenty of time to get out and set some steel for the furry woodland creatures

Wow, that brought back memories. Trapping basically paid for my college back in the late 70's. check traps,go to class, study,skin,study,flesh. Many a night falling a sleep in the shed. The very best to you in life. Nice mix and put up.
