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!
So what is included with the line ?

Can you also point out which lines you know of that are currently owned as recreational leases owned by the rich ? I keep looking for them but as yet have been unable to find one.
