IMHO Jim, there is no "going price" for any trapline. The seller has his asking price and the potential buyer has his limt as well,, Seems to me to be pretty much cut and dried.. This same question has been raised here a hundred time and each time, the same ### rises to the top and guys who have never had to maintain a line just can't understand... If you don't have to travel a whole day to get to it, there is not a line up to buy it and there are the accessories that you want, then I think the answer is in front of you.....you can always walk.
As Mr Bussy used to say --"it's just that easy"

Ya I know what you are saying. I guess I just need someone to tell me to go and buy it.
Just don't want to spend all my savings, only to find a better deal.
Feel this one is overpriced. And I'm not looking for a summer getaway cabin as this one is winter access only.

Pls Guys, lets not go down this road again... If you don't know what I mean, just search some old posts, they're all the same...and the worst part is, that those that are not even trappers get pi$$ed that some trapper is selling for whatever, regardless, with those people, it is way too much..
PM me Jim with a Phone # and we can talk if you like...

I know MM that you were not to ruffle anything, but that is what I have said the last hundred posts on this same subject. Once again, for the last time I'll say it, it's those who don't have, that say it's too much...welll then get on your sled and ride..
Why don't we get for a coffee soon, MM...:character0175

$300,000 I know what your saying doug and it is a touchy subject but you should send him a pm with what you or others with experience would pay for a line like this. Its sounds like he just needs a reference to what lines similar go for. I know my attitude has changed some as i am trapping a line that has not been trapped in a long time, has no vehicle accsess so making the trails from scracth or from horse trails which is sometimes worse is a heck of a lot of work. I appreciate the work but some people are just trying to make fast money. I think it would be a different world if people were actually forced to trap them properly. But you are right everyone has the price they will sell/ buy, maybe the op should check the classifieds in tappers mag and make some phone calls for refrences on other lines for prices. Snowfall last night it's just about prime time

Seems like some lines go sky high. I guess that's life.

Prices
Alberta needs a law that requies a minimum catch from a trapline to stop the speculators from driving the prices to unreasonable levels. I know of one were the guy has owned it for 6 years, never set a trap and has done no maintainence of any kind and is asking more than 5 times what he paid. Something needs to happen to prevent this type of activity. As I have said before---trap it or lose it!

It's only the people who are not trapping their line abusing it that would actually have a problem with this. Problem is there is no money or care for enforcement so it will stay like this

You are most likely correct and the end result will be that eventually the RFMA's will be a thing of the past. Has happened elsewhere!! Just a damn shame that something can not be done to correct this before it is too late.

I wouldn't say nothing could be done some people put a lot of money and time/effort into trying to make things right but not everyone sees things the same way. \and of course some are wearing rose colour glasses.It is sad really when you look at the big picture.

There is little doubt that there are many who like the system as is so they can continue to abuse it. Unfortunately it is at the expense of those who are "REAL TRAPPERS" who can not afford to purchase trapline assetts at the elevated prices many are asking for their lines. This will eventually lead the the abolition of the RFMA system and all cabins will be illegal. Maybe some of those who have traplines and do not trap but have built an "expensive cottage or hunt camp" should consider this. Their little dream will be valueless and rightfully so! Should be "trap it or lose it!" All it takes is a minimum quota system which is easily verifiable through mandatory annual reports that match fur sold through the auction houses. Works elsewhere and easy to impliment.

I couldn't agree more with you!!!! But like braggadoe says it's in the hands of our gov which makes it a s**tty deal. I too feel that one day it will change but you wasting your time on here there is only a couple people that talk about it and they believe it will stay this way forever. I hope it does change then maybe we will get some REAL trappers back in this world.
