Outdoors: Youth catches trapping bug early
The outdoors really has no boundaries as far as participation in activities like hunting, fishing or trapping. No matter the age the joys found here span the spectrum from 7 to 70.
But looking at the demographics of those involved they likely fall somewhere right in the middle. That’s why it’s always refreshing to see a youngster take an overwhelming interest in one of these activities. Usually, it’s fishing and occasionally hunting.
But the trapping bug is catching, too. A 17-year-old South Haven High School senior, Wacey Lathers, wouldn’t dream of spending his free time any other way and his favorite is chasing bobcats.
“I started trapping when I was 11 years old,” Lathers said. “My grandpa told me a story about him trapping when he was young and how he caught his first mink and it got me interested.”
Lathers would tag along with family friends trapping and quickly developed a passion for it. First attempts weren’t hugely successful but something about it really triggered a desire to explore the entire experience.
“We didn’t have much luck, but as soon as I caught my first coon I was hooked,” Lathers said.
The youngster jumped into it with both feet. Lathers started reading trapping books and magazines and watching videos. He credits others trappers in his area with providing guidance and instruction. And he quickly figured the best teacher was experience itself and tried to trap as much as possible.
“I didn’t have a car or a license so my dad would take me,” Lathers said. “It was a lot of fun.”
In just a few short years, Lathers learned a lot. As is the case with many activities, he developed a favorite and strived to learn as much as possible.
“I really like cat trapping,” Lathers said. “When I was younger the cat prices were really high and I’ve been hooked ever since and I like the challenge.
