"While some of what is written within the document will make your blood boil, much of it is what we've been asking for since the Trapping in the 21st Century discussions took place 10 years or more ago."
We've been asking for this? Somehow I do not think any of us would be asking for most of what i am seeing and if we did then we all need our heads checked.
We may have asked for some changes to get some lines used but we didn't need to make it possible for a line to not be worth didly squat and to be easily taken from you.
Heck they could have made it pretty simple that you needed to trap your line every year and if not then put your line on an open invitation for a JR to come work it untill you want to get back to trapping it again or sell it. Even that has issues where a guy can just buy a couple pieces fur from the local resident trapper and claim them from his line. What's next, mandatory quota like out east where you loose your line if you don't catch 300 beaver a year.
"Pressure has been placed on the Fur Management Team to have something in place for the new 2016 licensing term,"
Well Geez nothing like a quick change in a hurry before the season starts. Not like any new laws are easily discarded if we see an issue down the road.....like that will happen.
