where to buy leg hold trap in Alberta/banff area
Hi there lads i'm only on holidays here in wonderful Canada but i'd love to buy a real leg hold trap.
Where can i go to see (and buy)the real thing.
PS I have a small collection of gin traps back home in ireland but they are only made for rabbits and fox and they are about 60 years old, they are also illegal to use but legal to own!!
PSS I would also consider some old second hand traps, I,m in the banff area for 3 days and then i'm heading south east to Calgary for 2 nights so if you are near buy and think it might be possible to meet up and do a deal then PM me and i give you a contact phone number (cell phone).
Regards Ivan
PSSS Thanks in advance for any help.

It great here! I'm from a small island 300x200miles, and people have been farming and working the land for thousands of years so most of the land is turned into fields (all green-40 shades ), the wilderness here is just out of this world. I still haven't got my head around the fact that if you head of into the woods you might not hit another road for 100's or 1000's of miles..
I landed in BC Vancouver, but its just another town.. Went to Jasper viaRail and to lake louise and now in banff for 3 days, then to calgery and then i'll hire a car and drive for a week. But i'll tell you that i'll be back with by bow some day!
