Thus I would guess by the same argument, anyone can cut timber on a forestry companies FMA and perhaps fill up a couple drums of oil from a well site in the green area.

So for you Trappers that would like to know who is putting wolf, bear, coyote baits on your trap lines or hunting yotes and wolves, I think a fair number of people would be more than happy to let you know what they are up to. For that to happen however it needs to be a whole bunch easier to get hold of the line holder. Very few of the lines in northern Alberta are posted with the owners name and phone number, most just say registered trap line. Most outfitters and hunters aren't going to go to extraordinary lengths to track you down to tell you about perfectly legal activities they are engaged in that don't actually require your permission or notification. Nice guy inclinations only go so far.

For it to be the same argument, the conversation would have to be about trapping wolves on a RFMA. No one has even mentioned that. RFMA holders have the right to trap fur bearers on their RFMA. The general public and outfitters have the right to hunt some fur bearers on crown land, which most of the time is also on a RFMA.

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.

Camdec, I agree that now with way to many wolves and black bears most of us are happy to see a hunter trim back a few. However when fur becomes very high priced such as lynx over $1000 few years back, then everybody and his dog were out on trap lines trying to make a fast buck.

Have just viewed a post, in the Hunting Forum, stating that talk / work is being done about banning cellular/remote viewed cameras during hunting season or altogether. Hopefully Cameras still requiring the viewer to manually check their cards will not be affected.
Once again, things used by certain individuals, come full circle to bite us on the *****

I could imagine that a remote trail cam could be an unfair advantage for hunting especially if it’s located close to where the hunter can access fairly quickly (ie. In the back 40 behind his house). Easier than using a drone IMO. How would they offer an advantage for trapping unless you’re using a rifle though?

Hey Dave, It is so easy for texting to be wrongly interpreted. No these cameras are of no value trappers and if any of this became law, it would not affect us. The security aspect,is another matter. There is getting to be all to many "incidents" of thefts occurring from trapline cabins, my place included..
As in aviation rulings, I believe that one cannot hunt within 24 hrs of having spotted game in an area...Again, pretty hard to "police"
