No... I would say the process is off the rails. I too applied for this line and called the guy after getting my letter in the mail.

The price of the "physical assets" is deemed to be $90,000... I know the line well and that is a joke.

The guy also stated that whoever he recommends to the government will be guaranteed the line. Basically, whoever is willing to pay the most, gets it. He told me he got together with some other guys, which included Alberta Trappers Association President, Anne Coles, to challenge the government and that was the outcome.

I am hopeful that someday we see some reform to trapline management in Alberta. Traplines should be for serious trappers who trap not guaranteed long-term recreational leases for the rich!
