They have the right to take fur from the area, nothing more. I registered with the hunting forum to talk about the loss of access to public land. Your sense of entitlement is the same as many grazing lessee's and therein lies the problem. All's fair that benefits you!
I trapped for many years when you could make money and the income was needed. I know how much money can be made today and I do hope your family isn't depending on trapping for their livelihood, but somehow I doubt it. Much more likely a nice fall and winter retreat for some R&R. Enjoy.
