I believe most trappers won't have to worry about anything. If you use your line every year no problem. Keep good records on adult to juvenile catch ratios and everything will be good. If you can't trap your line bring on a junior. In the wmu that I am living in there is 2 traplines that haven't been trapped in the last 6 years. The owners are pushing 70+ years old, but won't take on a junior or partner. These traplines like alot of others have no improvements except what the oil companies and seismic have done. I believe this will help get lines into the hands of people that will use them. What I would like to know though is what will happen with first nations traplines. Will we have a chance to try to get their lines and will they get a chance take over whiteys line?
