If you're playing semantics with the phrase "recreational lease" then it's even worse. Hopefully the new government will get some of this nonsense eliminated eventually.
Why do I fit the picture ? I spend 40-50 days a year out on my line. I take wolves, Lynx, marten, Fisher and weasel every year. Not many beaver out there but I skim the top off them.

Am I not a real trapper because I own other businesses ? Is Gordy Klassen not a real trapper ? Or Brian Bildson ? Heck I even know a retired doctor who's a trapper, does he not fit the bill for you. My Dads the Mayor of the town he lives in, together with his partners they trap 5 different lines each winter. Does he make the cut ?

Please regale us further with your image of a real trapper
