New Authorization for Trapline Cabins/Buildings

[uke hunter]

Have any trappers on been made aware of the new 2017 Trappers Cabin Specifications Document and associated Trapline Cabin application forms for all proposed or existing structures? Very detailed document which states that existing cabin structures which do not meet the new specifications will not be grandfathered (as the old Cabin Policy stated). Just found out about this document and associated application forms. Email from F&W office states:

Senior trappers can now apply for a TFA (temporary field authorization) for new or existing cabins that would be for the same term as their initial.

Here’s the application form and information I send out to any senior trapper who is seeking permission to build a trap line cabin or get a TFA for an existing cabin.

• The completed trap line cabin application (TLC-A) and cabin sketch form (TLC-B) can be returned to the Fish and Wildlife office when completed.
• The Temporary Field Authorization (TFA) is for the same term as the initial. So if your 5 year initial meeting was this year the TFA would be issued for the same 5 year term. If your initial was last year and you had 4 years until your next initial, the TFA would be issued for the remaining time.
• In order to issue a TFA for the cabin, they will need a client ID. The application for Client ID attached as well.
• The completed Client ID form can be emailed, mailed or faxed to the address at the top of the application form.

Uke, appears to be much more administration now around our cabins. More work than getting a new home built. Boy I am glad the ****ters do not have a deck on them and less than 18 sq ft.

Here are both the application and the site plan forms.

Few things i noticed are if you plan on cutting a tree down or increasing any footprint you will not be able to get your license for a cabin spot. If you are non compliant in anything they will just send you a bill for the removal of anything. Also looks like they are shutting down trapline adventures as well and don't want anyone making money doing that from what i understand. Sound like they are continuing to shut down trapping in Alberta still.
