When Tom took me to see his trap sets...he showed me two... the one where the beaver scared him and a set down by the neighbors creek.
They looked like some good sets as he had one in each the in and out runways of the beaver houses........Not that I know anything about trapping but really, I don't see how they could escape?
This morning he took me with as he was sure he had one.....We went to the neighbors creek where he seen the black beaver sitting on the ice.....

This morning he took me with as he was sure he had one.....We went to the neighbors creek where he seen the black beaver sitting on the ice.....
I pushed him off in the canoe so he could get to the other side of the creek.....
You could see he had one in the trap when we got there.
By golly.... gosh..... darn.... he had the black beaver in his trap.
He called Bob the taxidermist friend who bear guides down here in the fall......"What's it going to cost me to get this tanned?..... what?..... your kidding me?"
Turns out he'll do it for nothing in exchange for Tom helping him with the baiting this fall......
Between you and me? That's Bob's plan for keeping Tom from disturbing his hunters this fall who pay a lot of $$ to get a bear in a short time.......
For the past two years .......Tom has been disturbing the hunts...... forgetting they are there, as he is out running around in the woods at that time of year.
Tom almost dropped a log on a hunter last year not knowing he was right there sitting in a blind only a few feet from him......LOL.
*************************************************
Seems like Tom is simmering down or I am adjusting to the change? I think he is accepting and adjusting too....... It's hard to tell. What he knows and accepts one day or moment is forgotten the next.
What I do know is he is obsessed with trapping..... He has no clue about not having $$ for everything he wants....He just wants it and if I don't give or get it for him he thinks I'm being mean to him....(child mentality?)
He thinks I know everything and can do anything....... I was with recently while he set a trap.... I have NO CLUE what he was doing..... he was fumbling like he didn't have a clue either..... He started yelling at me ???????
Later we discussed how hard it is to trap.....and how I won't get him all the stuff he needs..... on and on and on..........I listened and agreed to everything he said.. I'm mean...I'm bad..... shame on me for being such a mean MOM.....
Than I got to talk..... he was surprised .....shocked even... to find out that I don't know anything about trapping... He really thought I knew everything and I was just being mean......He says.."well that explains it...I'm sorry... but I thought you knew everything"
He was even surprised to find out that I don't know EVERYTHING ????? So I explained how I like to go with to WATCH and TAKE PICTURES but I don't want to help set traps because it's too hard for me. That's a big guys job! He so agreed.
It's still touch and go as we continue to adjust his meds and adjust to the change......
It's almost funny when he has a light bulb moment........a glimpse of the real world before he fades back.
