Why there, its because its at the end of a lease road behind a locked gate which he has a key for. He can drive right to the new cabin and not have to worry about unloading a quad and going across the muskeg to the main cabin. Is the line trapped, yes he has a junior partner who does all the trapping. For the owner of this line its for recreation, Hunting and comfort. Let someone else do the work of trapping it. This is what a lot of people are so upset about and why they call the line a recreational line.
What did F&W and the local biologist say when you reported these offences to them ? Or did you just call the RAPP line ? Did they get back to you with the outcome of the case ?
