Guys a previous RFMA owner is a trapper that has best opportunity to be approved for a new line. The next is Junior with 3-5 years plus good fur numbers, next would be a Resident trapper with high fur numbers over a few
years along with lots of traps and equipment. I cannot see them approving a Junior with a few weekends of trapping and 3 marten with 2 squirrels over a dedicated Resident trapper. Just my 2 cents.

That marten hills line is in some real nice country. Good fur and game.

My understanding is they were bought and sold licenses/Quota's for lakes and some for substantial monies. Equipment used wouldn't be much different price wise to a trapper by the time you rigged up with nets/jiggs/snowmobile/quads and associated equipment.

Guys, just checked my trapline maps. The line being offered is actually around two townships, actually touches 3-4 townships, has a river along line, near Slave Lake. Some of you guys wanting a line should consider kicking the tires
as price is lower than most offered in last while. New cabin and good snowmobile. Seems to have decent fur numbers and limited logging & oil activity.

Lots of otter on the river there. I know the guy personally and it has been a good line for the limited amount of trapping that has gone on there.

It sounds like it really depends on which office you're dealing with.

I think I'm 3-5 years out nube, depending on price. If I could buy a line for 25k that was worth trapping I could make it happen sooner.

Things should really start coming together for me financially over the next few years and I'll be able to save significantly more yearly.
I blew the Trapline fund yesterday on a couple lake lots which were priced too low to not buy. I'm back to square one, it's just a delay and I haven't given up.

Someone else will have to buy this line!

Guys line #1900 is located by Fawcett lake about 20 miles west of Slave lake. Windfall is west of Whitecourt and Wildwood is west of Stoney Plain and they are not near the #1900 trapline. FYI
