Lastly the self study of manual and passing exam was an accept qualification for trapper until last year. It should still be recognized today when a trapper has upto 10 years of RFMA or Resident trapline experience.
I agree with this as well, it should be reconized same as trades in other fields, a mechanic or plumber for example. if you have passed the test and put in your hrs, you are no less qualified then any one coming out of a trapping course.
