I was goat hunting a few years back around terrace, there was a lot of wolf crap with white goat hair in it so I'm pretty sure they can catch sheep as well.
Not to sure about this 5 yr audit someone mentioned here but I do know for a fact that I had an uncle bragging about getting a letter stating he must be one of the worst trappers in Alberta. He hadnt trapped anything in over 10yrs but still had his line.
The price of hides are pretty close to that of 30yrs ago not counting the spike in prices last year. Seems price of lines have gone up 20x in the same amount of time.
Personally I can't see anyone that makes a good enough wage to pay for these lines now adays take the winter off work to truly trap the whole season instead of making the big money on his regular job. I'm not taking any pot shots at any trapper just stating what I see
