x2 Source out your local association, this is where I started and meet a bunch of awesome people to boot.
do you have to have a trap line or can you trap else where?
As a Resident Trapper you can trap private property that you have permission to trap on and some areas of crown land that is not a part of a trap line.
There is a lot of information that you need to know and the best way to learn it is to take a Trappers course. You can find a lot of information about becoming a Trapper in Alberta here:
does anyone have the newest*Alberta Trapper’s Education Manualand where would the closest trappers group be around the Rocky-Red Deer area?
Read about the Alberta Trappers Association in the link that I posted for you and contact them. They'll have a manual and know where the closest Trappers Local is to you.
