i hunt late season grouse(up to jan. 15) and hare after bird season closes. pup comes with me, a Large Munsterlander, Versatile hunting pointer. to date i have hunted on private land and designated natural areas. opal, redwater, halfmoon.
Is there any trapping allowed in the natural areas? I avoid crown land during trapping season, but it never occurred to me there may be trapping in natural area. is that the case or is trapping prohibited?
i just found my own answer. trapping in natural areas and ecological preserves is prohibited. so... as long as i am here is there any tips or words of advice to safeguard pup during trapping season?
First and foremost carry something capable of cutting aircraft cable. Aside from that I would stay away from any trail with fresh skidoo tracks,especially if there is a sign by the entrance stating it’s an active trapline, it’s possibly or likely being actively trapped.
Familiarize yourself on how a snare works....they are easy enough to undo if you know how. And generally a dog won't initially fight a snare as strenuously as a wild animal.
We used to raise pheasants where I live and had a guy show up with his dog. I told him to stay out of a certain bush but he forgot...I caught his dog three times before he could get him out of that bush.
