It sucks for guys who recently purchased a line and/or made costly improvements but for non-RFMA holders, affordable lines is good news. That's the way that I see it.
We came within a whisker of losing it all a few years backs. The GOA was getting rid of the RFMA system south of highway 16 and creating a free for all. The ATA had to agree that traplines must be utilized for trapping. That was the agreement but as usual a few years, a few round table discussions and we see the abortion that came out of the simple premise. I don't see this changing the prices or how traplines change hands. The GOA fears litigation on this and know they can't win in court.
