I've always wanted to, but have never taken the trapper's course. Don't they tell you that kind of stuff in Trapper's School? Hmmm, strange.

Means a trap having one of the 3 mods. So a trap that is offset without padded jaws is legal. Conventional long springs with no mods on the jaws would not be legal. Once phase 2 is implimented we can only use the traps listed.

We like the #3 soft catch, holds firm but doesn't do a lot of damage, which is handy if you catch a someone's pet, or a non target species.

Re: Which Traps are Legal
Guys, I can attest to the advantage of taking the trapping course. I too started out green when it came to the world of trapping a number of years ago. I took the course in Debolt and have to say it was one of the most enjoyable weeks of learning not only because of the course material but with the atmosphere, the instruction and the trapping gear that is covered as well as a few tricks of the trade that are discussed that could save your life. I have since attended several Saturday day courses offered by the ATA in Westlock including snaring and leg-holds. These are 20.00 per course which is a steal for the info presented. Don't mean to hijack the thread but if you are new to trapping and looking to get a few hints and learn the rules these are great places to start. Good Luck.
