Zone 4 trapline for sale or junior partner wanted?
 
Anyone know if there's anything for sale in Zone 4 or someone wanting to take on a junior partner?

I have called the locals and done a fair amount of poking around without any luck.

Thanks for the offer, thats to far south for me. Even the southern part of 4 is getting to far south.

Why is there so few traplines for sale? I read that over 90% of crown land is registered traplines. But yet you put on a few thousand KM's on old snow in trapline country. And you see one or two sets off trapper tracks? A guy would think more would be for sale.

I do know that there is quite a number being held for whatever reason by the government that were taken back or given up by the trapline holder. As for myself, I don't do a lot until after hunting season is over, due to the heavy traffic over my trails if I open them, and then the interference of some 'hunters' with sets. That would explain why you don't see a lot of activity on some lines, and others are simply not trapped. Myself, I split up the trapline into thirds, so I only trap the same area every 3 years so as to allow fur rejuvenation. As for traplines for sale, I've seen a number of them listed in the back of the ATA magazine, and some on this forum. Just takes money.

I got a ata subscription on the way. I am talking after hunting season. Dec 1 to feb 29 I am pounding roads and not seeing much trapper activity. Thanks for the reply.

X 2, NT, Not in all cases where activity is not seen, does this mean, that nothing is happening. Eg., Just venture 30 yds. off a cutline and see how much more animal sign you will see, referrring here to moose and deer.

I have a resource road that runs along one side of my boundary and will not set along it becuz of people picking my traps. At the same time, I will trap up to that road, but from the backside and therefore no one will ever see my tracks and that is by design.. It certainly does not mean I have not been there.
I, too "summer fallow" portions of my line. The only evidence of my being, exists basically, from my cabin and radiating from there.. I leave as small a footprint as possible. I'm sure many don't do as I do but I do know that some do, for the same reasons as me and when posssible, more are doing it....:character0175:

Anything?

steve 02-23-2012 03:42 PM

Willing to pay a finders fee for something that works out in zone 3 or 4. Junior Partner preferably.

Thanks

steve 03-04-2012 08:54 PM

Anyone know a guy, that they could put me in touch with?

steve 03-22-2012 08:28 PM

Will show up with own gear. Can be easily tricked into splitting large amounts of wood.
