I don’t believe filling a couple of oil drums would be legal, but there are rules surrounding cutting timber. Here is the link
https://www.alberta.ca/tree-cutting-permits.aspx. I’ve cut a bit of firewood over the years.
BGW, I’m not trying to be argumentative. All I’m saying is that the law permits it. Would I set up where a trapper is actively trapping...absolutely not. Nor would I go cutting a bunch of birch down within a short proximately of his cabin for firewood. But a hunter is certainly within his right to try his luck for wolves on crown land that falls on a registered trap line.
For full disclosure. I don’t have the patience for wolf hunting, but I wouldn’t think twice about shooting one if I had the legal opportunity. I’m also happy for the hunters that successfully harvest a wolf where I’m trapping them. Whatever saves the ungulates from getting decimated is good for me.
